Join Harry for his second watercolour workshop in 2025 where he will be focussing on creating moody watercolours! It is not just the subject of an artwork that evokes an emotional response in us. More importantly, it is the manner in which the subject is portrayed. The same portrait, still life or landscape could be bright and cheerful, dark and wintry, warm and comfortable, terrifying, or just fun and playful. We will explore how to use colour, light and shade, design, brushwork and painting processes to communicate a range of themes, moods and feelings in watercolour.

Please note – there is an additional materials fee for this workshop. See below.

Cost: $150.00 includes morning tea. There is a $15.00 materials fee for this workshop – this is payable on the day of the workshop, in cash, to your tutor.

Please bring your own lunch – our fridge and microwave will be available for you to use along with any cutlery and crockery you may need.

Workshop Hours: 10am – 4pm 

SPOTS AVAILABLE – get in touch today!

This workshop is for those who have completed Kerrie’s Exploring Drawing with Mixed Media workshops held during 2025. In this workshop we’ll do a quick recap of all the drawing media we explored in our first workshop, and then go on to look at further techniques using the drawing media, exercises to loosen up as we prepare to draw, more ways to explore how to combine various wet and dry media in our drawings, and lots more.

We’ll then explore how to use layers to create depth and interest in our work, which parts of our drawings we should focus attention and detail on, how to sequence the various parts of our drawings, use the basics of drawing skills to assist us to create drawings we feel are successful, and discuss how to find your style.

Throughout the day we’ll be creating a collection of drawings using a variety of subject matter and themes. Come prepared to try new things, take risks, and have fun! At the end of the day, you’ll go home with a variety of exercises you can continue to use in your drawing practice which will be invaluable in developing your drawing skills.

Whilst Margot’s exhibition is showing in the gallery, we are thrilled that she has agreed to run a workshop with us in the Studio. Enjoy a day with Margot exploring a range of painterly techniques. Combine collage and the expressive possibilities of mark-making, colour and texture to make a small paper panel. Inspired by natural forms, this workshop encourages students to use both observation and imagination to develop new ways of building depth, rhythm and harmony in your work.

Kerrie is running a series of printmaking workshops running over three Wednesdays in October. You may attend one, two or all three workshops. Discounts apply – the more you attend, the bigger the discount! Attend one workshop – full price of $150; attend two workshops – $270 – discount of 10%; attend all three workshops – $360 – discount of 20%. You select which workshops you’d like to attend. 

In the first of our printmaking workshop series, we will be exploring gel plates. Gel plate printing is one method of monoprinting and in this workshop we’ll be looking at how to use plants and stencils to create simple and intricate designs. For those who are new to this type of printmaking we’ll cover the basics and then go on to look at how you can create stencils in various ways and materials to use in your printing. We’ll also look at how to incorporate plants and leaves to create visual interest in your prints. We’ll be looking at simple one colour prints as well as moving on to multi layered prints which can build up intricate designs for creative artmaking. We’ll be printing on a range of papers so you’ll have lots of choice to explore this fun method of printing. Gel plate printing is an easy technique to use at home with minimal equipment – Kerrie will share a recipe with you so you can go home and make your own plate and continue the fun. This workshop uses water based paints.

In the second workshop of our printmaking series, we will explore mono printing. Monoprinting is a spontaneous approach to printing and is often referred to as a blending of printmaking, drawing and painting. The method we will investigate for this workshop uses a hard surface and oil-based inks, and is generally used to create fine art works on paper. In this workshop you will learn the correct methods for creating works on paper including how to register your prints, additive and subtractive methods for creating images, understanding how to work with oil based inks (and the difference between these and paint); building up layers in your prints, using stencils and texture, and the importance of papers in creating a successful print. If time permits we will also investigate how to add extra interest to your work using collage techniques.

During the workshop students will be guided on how to design art for prints; learn correct methods of carving blocks and looking after tools; how to register the prints for accuracy, and add colour by hand; learn how to use a printing press and how to print at home without a press; learn about the intricacies of printing editions of prints; and much more.

It’s time to get your Xmas stationary organised! In this workshop you’ll be creating simple designs with a Xmas theme to print on cards, gift tags and wrapping paper using Ezi-Carve blocks. Ezy Carve is an easier material to carve for anyone with difficulties in hand strength, and is ideal for printing smaller prints suitable for cards, tags, etc. We will look at simple printing methods using a single colour, that you can easily recreate at home, and will then go on to explore hand colouring to introduce more complexity into your designs. You will be able to use these blocks for many years to come to continue creating your own personalised stationary.

Whether making a simple concertina book or constructing something more intricate, this workshop is all about bookbinding that only requires folding. No stitching, no difficult mechanisms and no expensive or complicated equipment. Just folding paper to make beautiful books that can be used for drawing, painting, nature journaling, collaging or recording your life story.

Join Kerrie and explore the many and varied book forms that can be made with a piece (or pieces) of paper. We’ll begin the day making simple book forms and slowly build our knowledge to develop more intricate forms to take our books to a whole new level. We’ll look at papers to select and use, how to create covers, simple tools and their alternatives, plus a whole lot more. We’ll use a variety of beautiful papers for our books and covers to create a small collection of handmade books for you to take home at the end of the day.

In this workshop we will use the coiling technique in a different way focussing on the use of fabrics around a strong core. Using materials you will most likely have at hand, means not having to rush out and continually buy more stuff! Using up fabrics that might end up sitting in recycling centres for months on end, or worse still, going to land fill, is an economical and satisfying way to create objects of beauty. You’ll learn how to source materials, what tools you’ll need (hint: you most likely have them already); how to put fabrics together to create a stunning palette (Kerrie will discuss a little about colour and give you some tips on easy ways to ensure you get colour working for you every time); how to prepare your fabric for basketmaking; how to start, shape and finish off your basket; and all the other juicy tips and hints needed to create a beautiful basket made in a very inexpensive way. Join Kerrie for a relaxing and meditative day as you learn this gentle and addictive craft!
