Weekend Recap

Last weekend was busy in the best way!

We had a double workshop day with Erin Hollingshead teaching lino-cut and Snehal Kank teaching watercolour. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon.

Paint your own Postcard

Upstairs we had Claudia, Patrick and Tom working on watercolour postcards with the guidance of Snehal. They learned about light/shadow and wet vs dry painting techniques.

Patrick, Tom, Claudia and Snehal enjoying watercolour painting.

This was our first workshop with Snehal and it went great! We can't wait to have her back to do more workshops with us in the spring. - if you have suggestions on a theme we should paint next, LET US KNOW! ☺

Intro to Lino-Cut

In our lower gallery we had a full house with Erin Hollingshead.
She taught the basics of lino-cut printing, from carving to stamping Erin's lino-cut workshops covers it all!

Check out some pics of what people were working on! ↴
