A festive wonderland of gifts and art

This three-part lino printing series introduces participants to the full creative process — from designing and carving their own lino block, to inking, printing, and exploring ways to use their prints in art and craft projects. Each session builds practical skills in design, tool use, printing techniques, and creative applications such as cards, fabric, and framed artworks.

Step into the expressive world of oil and cold wax painting — a process that blends texture, layering, and spontaneity. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to build depth and luminosity using oil paint mixed with cold wax, explore texture through imprinting, scratching, masking, and solvent reduction, and experiment with drawing media to enhance line and form. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have developed one or more richly layered pieces that reflect your own creative style.

An immersive journey into the expressive power of soft pastels

Create your own sculptural “feature tree” using branches, wire, and string. In this playful hands-on workshop, you’ll explore texture, form, and creative expression — crafting a piece that can stand alone or be added to mixed-media artwork for a striking 3D effect. All materials supplied.
