Studio Art Sessions & Workshops
Alcohol Ink Workshop
Sat 13th September 3hours $95 Per Person
Discover the joy of inks on Yupo synthetic paper. Watch the colours interact with each other and create a vibrant bold artwork. This will be a uniquely fun experience, with no pressure and no fear of getting things wrong.
I will give you an intro into alcohol inks. Experiment with mark making tools and learn the basics of colour theory in a practical way.
We will finish the paintings by looking at the overall composition and add further details with the use of fine lines. There will be an opportunity to take your design further by looking at the power of negative space. We will also look at what other surfaces you can use the inks on to create some unique gifts for friends and family.
You will create some small experimental artworks and one larger 40cm x 30cm /A3 to take home some fun memories of the day. So bring some friends and treat yourselves to a creative art session.

Concertina Sketchbook Workshop
$95 for 3 Hour duration, Date TBC
Concertina sketchbooks are so fantastic to make, so join me this August to make your own.
We will be making this from scratch and I will show the method of how to make the sketchbook and how to develop an idea as you move through the pages.
These sketchbooks are a fantastic way to remember a place you loved or look at a project you might want to develop painting ideas for. Perhaps you just don’t know where to start making use of those blank white pages of a book. So, we can prepare ahead before we venture off on sketching trips and holidays with a sketch book full of prompts and starting points.
Many materials are utilised for this, so feel free to include your own favourites. I will provide the sketchbook paper and a source of materials and tools to help you create your own book.
