Adult Workshops
Workshops are designed in conjunction with current exhibitions or to present media and techniques not covered in our regular classes. Students will view the work on display and work hands on with an instructor in the studio. This is a great opportunity to to stimulate ideas, explore a medium and deepen understanding of artists and their art.
Week Long Workshop in Drawing
These workshops run five full days (Mon to Fri) of mornings and afternoons. Each course consists of 25 hours (5 hours each day) of class time. You’ll immerse yourself in your creative activities for a full week in a stimulating environment. Supply lists will be forwarded to registrants in advance of the workshops. 10am-4pm (1 hour lunch break. Students make their own lunch arrangements. Storm Restaurant is conveniently located in the Gallery’s penthouse.)
Drawing
By focusing on colour while using media such as oil pastels, chalk pastels, art sticks and other materials, you will develop your ability to depict multiple aspects of nature. Individual interpretations of the subject matter will be encouraged. Weather permitting, we will work outside as much as possible.
