Alcohol Inks with Sheila Playford

Saturday 12 April 9 am - 12 noon

Venue: Wellington Art Club, 27 Chelsea St, Miramar
Class level: Suitable for everyone
Fee: $60

We will start by making our own inks. Then we will get on with applying our inks to different surfaces / substrates.
We will use non-porous paper, canvas, and ceramics, all provided.
Attendees will need to bring sharpie pens.  (These are indelible marker pens). You can buy colour packs of Sharpies at Warehouse Stationery, or just bring the three main/primary colours – Red,Yellow and Blue. Other brands, although cheaper, do not have strong pigment, so not strong enough. Also needed are little dropper bottles with a narrow nozzle. These can be purchased from those storage box shops or Uncle Bills.  One bottle per colour that you will make.  There are travel packs of 100 mls. Also you will need a small spray bottle, can be bought from same shops, or in a travel pack, this is for spraying alcohol onto your artwork.

Transformative Art Workshop Self Portraits with tutor Miranda Munro

Saturday 10 May 2025 10am - 1pm

Join us for this playful mixed media workshop using collage and gelli pad printing to create unrealistic self portraits- portraits that may not be anatomically correct, but which explore the real you!

No art experience is necessary, just a willingness to let go and experiment.

To book a spot contact Miranda Munro mirandabluehousestudio@gmail.com

Transformative Art mixed media workshops encourage you to create from the heart, not just the head. No art experience is necessary, but being curious is always a plus!

Dates: Saturday 10 May  10am – 1pm
Venue: Wellington Art Club, 27 Chelsea St, Miramar
