Painting
Suitable for enthusiastic beginners and practising artists alike, this week-long summer course is designed to spark creativity and develop your skills.
Each day, we will explore a different project, encouraging you to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. You are also very welcome to bring your own subject matter or references if you prefer to work more independently.
This is a space to play, layer, and combine materials, pushing boundaries and staying open to unexpected results. Most importantly, it is about enjoying the process and having fun!
Please bring your favourite wet and dry media. A list of essential and recommended materials will be shared ahead of the course commencing.
