Relaxed, supportive sessions that help you rediscover the joy of making — no experience required.
Learn how water, pigment and paper work together — from simple washes and colour mixing to loose, expressive painting. Sessions balance technique with plenty of room to experiment.
An introduction to making multiples by hand. Depending on the session, artists work with monoprinting, linocut relief carving or screen printing, and leave with a small series of finished prints.
Using a nineteenth-century photographic process, participants arrange plants and objects on light-sensitive paper and let the sun do the printing — a favourite for anyone drawn to nature and happy accidents.
Collage, paint, paper, thread and found materials come together in layered work that rewards curiosity. Ideal for anyone who wants permission to experiment rather than follow a formula.
Build a simple stencil, mix ink and pull crisp graphic prints onto paper or textiles. A satisfying, high-energy session that works especially well for groups.
Monoprinting is painting and printing at once — a direct, playful process where every pull is unique and mistakes usually become the most interesting part.
Design, carve and hand-print a relief block. Sessions cover safe carving, ink consistency and how to print a clean, even edition without a press.
Hands-on building with clay, paper, wire and found objects. A tactile, forgiving way to think about form, balance and scale.
A guided tour through several mediums, designed for people who aren't sure where to start — or who want to find out what they love before committing to one path.
Each session begins with a short, lively look at an artist or movement, then moves straight into the studio to make something of your own in response.
Process-based projects that build confidence, curiosity and creative problem-solving with real materials.
