Let’s Talk About Death with Angela Fama

Saturday, June 10 – noon to 4 | $65

The idea is to create a postcard (or two) to send to someone you love in appreciation of life and/or bring images relating to death that inspire curiosity, to integrate/explore reimagining through art making. This is co-created space for exploring ideas, sharing, and listening – as it is, in the moment – whether you’re new or returning to the conversation or art making!

Tickets are $65. Find out more and sign up on Eventbrite.

Mixed-Media Turner with Sonia Iwasiuk

Saturday, June 17 noon – 4 pm

Feed your soul and be inspired!

In this stimulating workshop, you will explore unique mixed-media techniques and easily recreate a William Turner(esque) painting (traditionally painted in oil). Create a simple, stunning piece on a pre-plastered panel using a minimal colour palette, a palette reminiscent of the old Masters. An acrylic medium will bring out the depth and pop the colour, creating a truly vibrant and contemporary artwork you’ll be proud of.  This workshop is great for artists of all levels. Feed your soul and be inspired by new techniques.

$225 / student – includes all materials. Find out more and sign up on Eventbrite.
