Mixed Media Workshop with Maxine Wade Saturday 18th January 10.00am-3.00pm | We will be working with natural forms - both dried and living flora, to create still life compositions using a variety of mixed media, both wet and dry. Pens and pencils, paints and inks, graphite, charcoal and pastels. We will also experiment with adding some collage for texture. Composition will be discussed, along with design elements of COLOUR, TEXTURE and LINE. The emphasis will be on playful experimentation! | | Acrylic and Oil Painting Workshop with Vivi Palegeorge Wednesday 22nd January 10.00am - 4.00pm | In this workshop, Vivi will demonstrate two step by step paintings, by blocking in with acrylics and finishing off with oils. Students will get the opportunity to work with Vivi, learning how to use these two mediums side by side. Attention will be given to shape, form, tone, colour and edges. A fun, interactive day to be enjoyed by all. | | Paint Yourself Calm - Watercolour Workshop with Cecilia Morris .Saturday 1st February 10.00am - 12.30pm | Everyone can benefit from this workshop.

Exploring Your Inner Artist with Collage with Suzie Raz Sunday 23rd Febuary 10.00am-2.30pm | From the whimsical to the political, experiment with the endless possibilities of the art of collage. For inspiration, Susie will introduce you to a number of artists past and present who have worked with this versatile medium. You will also be guided in how to use various techniques. Bring along old paintings, life drawings, and anything else that you may want to tear up and transform into a new creation. Susie will also bring along all kinds of magazines, maps, music sheets and more for you to play with. Through various techniques, exercises and by providing a supportive environment, Susie invites beginners to explore their untapped creativity and for more experienced artists to experiment with new ways of creating. The result is greater confidence in your ability to authentically express yourself. | | | |
