	One Day Workshops in Oils, Mixed Media and Sculpture ART 4 THE HEART! Sunday, 29 August 2010 It is the one thing we can escape into - a world where there are no rules, we simply need to make a mark and see where it goes. Be it all of us - a chance to express how we feel, a time out, a time to reflect, to re-group, to look ahead, to breathe. We just need to make a start! These workshops will give you the chance to do all this and more. So join me for a day, to play, to create. Everything you need is at your finger tips: materials, coffee and cake, a glass of wine with lunch, and all the help and support you will need to complete you artwork!

Freeform Sculpture Workshops 3rd Sunday of the Month, commencing 22 August 2010 Using wire, paper, fabrics, found objects, mosaics, clay and paints create your own sculpture for your home. This class will explore the possibility of using everyday objects to create and sculpt your own artwork. The morning will be spent learning the different types of sculpture materials available to you, the availability of these products and where you can access them when you need to! Also how to make your own paper clay, and also how to decorate glass with paper tissues. You will have the opportunity to design on paper then choose your materials to develop your sculpture or pieces (yes you can make more than one!). The workshop will cost $130 (includes all materials, morning tea, lunch and wine). If you are interested, please contact Kim on 0402473083. Outdoor Workshops Outdoor workshops are held once or twice a month in the local area on a Saturday morning/afternoon. If you are interested, please contact Kim on 0402473083. Based on interest, we will decide whether to run a morning (8:30am) or afternoon (2:30pm) workshop. Bring a canvas, papers, paints, any drawing media, easel (if you have one), hat and sunscreen. You will learn how to look and see, and then construct thumbnail sketches, quick drawing (bring a camera to take photos for reference) then learn to paint plein-air. Working quickly and freely, paint in base background then work wet in wet to complete (or near complete) a seascape or view of your choice (can be very contemporary or close-up view). This is a great exercise in learning perspective, realism and light and shade, the values of colour! Beginners are welcome no skills required. Bring your friends and children over 10 years of age. The cost per person is $35 which will include wine and cheese platter to share. The workshop will run for two and half hours tutored, then freetime to paint on site! Those that have done the workshop before will learn how to sketch with inks and brush on site (yes its time to up skill!) No pencil eraser allowed! If you are interested please email and book in for time that suits you! Weekend Workshops Weekend workshops are held from time to time in the local area and surrounding hinterlands. Bring some friends (or make new ones!) and enjoy a weekend of good company, great plein-air painting opportunities, and stunning natural surroundings.
