Cost: $35 Minimum 3, maximum 8 students. For ages 8 and above.
Instructor: Angela Struik - Huyer
Watercolour Abstract Art
In this class, students will use line, colour and form to create intuitive neurographic artwork. Sound a little artsy-fartsy? It might be but it's also a heck of a lot of fun with beautiful results. Using guided techniques, students will use shape and colour to create landscapes which float through space, or drift across the page. They will connect with their inner creative spirit to mindfully explore this medium.
Thursdays: July 6th, August 3rd & 24th
Cost: $35 Minimum 3, maximum 8 students. For ages 8 and above.
Instructor: Angela Struik - Huyer
Mixed Media Collage
Students will be using papers and printed napkins to create one of a kind collage work on a wooden panel board. You’ll have lots of references/ideas to choose from or create from your own imagination! You will be given a lesson on collage basics and help from the instructor along the way.
Thursday: July 13th
Cost: $35 Minimum 3, maximum 8 students. For ages 8 and above.

Alcohol Ink
In this class, the instructor will guide you through making a unique floral or abstract artwork using alcohol inks and other tools on special plastic paper that you can frame or mount at home.
Alcohol inks do have an odour, therefore, children and people with breathing issues should wear a mask. Bring your own rubber gloves and mask.

Learn the art of polymer clay sculpture and discover its endless possibilities in this workshop. We use an oven bake Sculpey clay and have a variety of tools, molds and textured sheets as well as glass beads and steampunk gears to create your sculpture. The studio has many choices of iridescent powders that give a stunning finish to your image. We have a variety of examples of finished sculptures on display to inspire you.
If you have booked the one time booking, you will have the first 2 hours to complete your sculpture. In the last hour your sculpture will be baked, cooled and assembled onto your prepared 6” X 6” panel board.
If you are booking a series of classes you will have time you explore and create more complex sculpure(s). The sculptures below are done by students of the studio and a few examples by one of our instructors on advanced clay sculpture. Some of these sculptures by students are done in one session but most take more than one session.
