art classes

We are a place for everyone. We are all on a life journey and how we choose to get there needs to fit our own life and learning styles. We are a place with a dedicated studio offering classes, workshops and camps in painting, pen & ink, drawing, crafts, open studio. We are a place for art groups to gather, and a place for guest artists and associate artists to facilitate workshops.

Workshops and Guest Artists

Art promotes joy and the process of making art provides freedom of expression in the absence of criticism. Art is the expression of the soul. Here we offer the support and opportunity to explore the visual arts in a safe and creative environment. The process of art promotes general well being, relaxation, relief of stress, building self confidence and self worth in the artist of any age and of course, it develops and supports creative thinking!

FALL -WINTER – Afternoon and Evening Adult Art Classes

 *** New Evening Class Acrylics for Beginners – Taught by Helena Renwick ***

Pen and Ink

Offer yourself a gift of tranquility and creative expression! No matter your experience, this art form is most relaxing and so rewarding!

Learn, practice and apply technique, receive guidance in use of principles of art to enhance our work.  No need of drawing skill or previous experience  is required as  you will be supported and taught individually at whatever level you find yourself. The class instruction is designed to support any artist, beginner or veteran.  First  time, beginner  Pen & Ink artists receive predetermined exercises and projects to complete giving them a well rounded introduction to the technique.

Join us!  Make new friends and learn or hone a skill which will bring you hours of enjoyment.

Watercolour

We welcome both the beginner and intermediate painter.  Group and individualized coaching is always on the agenda.  The Beginners’ focus is initially on understanding  colour, the mixing of it and the use of it, practicing watercolour  techniques, and participants are encouraged to practice what they learn.

Intermediate and more advanced watercolourists are encouraged to continue applying skills as they are supported in an individualized and self driven program.  We take time throughout the class to acknowledge and critique our process, to discuss layouts, tone, value – everyone learns!

A new Beginners only class has been added this year to dedicate more time and attention to the developing watercolourist!!   Join this group is you never thought you could but wanted to try.

Evening classes will be open to all levels. 

Water Colourists – Join us to learn something new, to improve from where you are and simply to enjoy the support and camaraderie of a group of like minded people!  It’s all here!
