No posh frocks allowed! You're definitely going to be flicking paint with this one! There's no getting away from it, sorry! It's a great way to shake off the nerves and anxiety right from the start, before heading into the more intricate detail of the poppies.
Gather the people and the surroundings you are most relaxed with and enjoy bringing the workshop to your doorstep!
I provide all materials, you just need to create your own party of people. A mix of those individuals you can have a laugh with, feel comfortable around and would love to share a fun experience with. If for a special occasion, you can decorate your own space or venue accordingly.
If this sounds like something you'd like to consider, simply get in touch and let's get creative. I can advise on which workshop may be best to suit the venue or occasion, as some workshops are 'messier' or more challenging than others.
$80 per person
max 10-12 artists per group

With Happy Hour you have such a fun and playful piece of art to take home with you. It's a workshop for those of you who are open to a few 'splashes' here and there. You have to trust the process with this workshop which is built up of surprisingly simple steps. We use rags, brushes and a cool little tool which gives you the ability to draw with paint.
Definitely the most basic of all the workshops. Tulips is a perfect introduction to the 'non believers' who think they can't paint. You can allow yourself to loosen up a bit and allow those 'paint drips' to fall. I use simplified techniques to create lines and shapes across the canvas using rags, stamp tools, pipettes and brushes.
Please take a look at what real people, like you, have achieved in some of my past workshops.
If this doesn't motivate you to give one a try, then I don't know what will.
They are awesome!
I believe this workshop is rather therapeutic due to it's repetitive nature. We use rags, stamp tools, stencils and a fun tool which enables you to almost doodle your way to the finish line. One of my favourites and excellent for a more structured, but playful end result.
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
The goals I have with my workshops are to firstly have fun! I see it more as a few hours of trying something new and maybe even being surprised at what you achieve. I'm not expecting masterpieces from anyone, although I do know that many of my 'pupils' have been proud enough to hang their paintings on the wall at home or in their office.
I work hard at breaking down each painting into layers that are achievable. I guide you through each stage and it's okay for you to make mistakes! I compare the process with following a recipe. You can't possibly know if something will work out perfectly the first time round, but will have a better understanding for next time or will have learned a few 'do and don'ts'.
My painting tools aren't limited to paint brushes, I use a multitude of bits and pieces which create shapes and lines across the canvas. I vary the techniques up, in an attempt that you find some element of the workshop you may feel you excelled at.
Alternatively, if you'd like to join a class of individuals, please get in touch to register your interest.
Please state which workshop you'd like to attend and I will let you know when my next will be.
