WORKSHOPS
Block Printing 101
Join us for an introduction into the wonderful world of Block Printing! In this workshop, you'll learn what makes an effective image, how to transfer it to a rubber block, how to carve it safely, and finally how to print onto paper.
​
Participants will then be printing their image onto their own Moleskine cahier notebook and some greeting cards. And maybe some other fun things!
Watercolour Techniques
Join Noelle Blue Moon, as she guides you through the wonderful world of watercolours. This workshop will serve as an introduction to several essential watercolour techniques and provide you with the skills and tools to create a watercolour landscape and continue on your painting journey.
Language of Colour:
Foundations in Colour Theory
Artist Lisa Hau has a passion for colour that she wants to share with you. Using hands-on colour mixing, participants will learn how colour is mixed using light. This workshop is designed to expand the creative work of artists, designers and craftspeople through a greater understanding of colour, but is still accessible for absolute beginners to colour theory.
Botanical Gel Printing
Local multimedia artist Helen Farina will show participants the basic principles of gel printing & how to use a gel plate to create monoprints. We'll experiment with mark-making tools to create interesting textures and designs, and create a series of botanical prints using different techniques.
Watercolour Landscapes
Join Noelle Blue Moon as she teaches you how to use watercolour techniques to render a beautiful landscape
​
We will begin with several loose warm up exercises to learn how to use light to dark washes, building up layers by glazing wet on dry. You will learn how to use colour and movement to capture the light and depth of a scene. During the second portion of the class, Noelle will take you step by step through the stages of painting a more detailed study of a local landscape.
