Mino Studio, Standish

Sunday 12 July • 1.00pm – 3.30pm

Fine Art & Textiles

Step into the studio for an afternoon of colour, texture and creative exploration.

Inspired by contemporary artists and textile makers, we'll combine paint, print, fabric and stitch to create a richly layered mixed-media artwork full of luminous colour, expressive mark-making and beautiful surface detail.

This is a workshop for curious, creative minds. A chance to experiment, take risks and enjoy the process of making in a relaxed studio environment.

Working with watercolours, dyes, acrylics, fabrics, papers and stitch, you'll build a unique composition that evolves through layering, printing, collage and embroidery. No two outcomes will ever be the same.

Everyone will complete a framed artwork presented in a 33cm square frame, with the frame becoming part of the final composition. There will also be opportunities to create smaller studies and samples for sketchbooks and future projects.

No freehand drawing is required. Up-close demonstrations and guidance are provided throughout.

Perfect for anyone who enjoys colour, textiles, mixed media, embroidery, printmaking and contemporary artists

• Tea, coffee, herbal teas, juice and treats included

Come with friends or come on your own — many people do.

Drawing materials are provided along with paper, and you’re very welcome to bring your own sketchbooks and folders.

Inspired by alpine blooms such as cornflowers, harebells and meadow wildflowers, this is a gorgeous piece to paint and a relaxing one to lose yourself in.
