Workshop with Kate

We had a most enjoyable time at a special Workshop with Kate Belton yesterday. Kate's workshops are very informative, enjoyable and most relaxing!

Working with stains and Matisse inks we were show how to transform a blank canvas into a work of art. Working with the inks to build up the colours,  Something very different from Folk Art.

Kate has many of her own patterns to choose from, look out for Kate's next workshop in Sydney.

7th September, Memory Box Painting Day

We are having a Painting day to paint some Much needed Memory Boxes.

Wednesday the 7th September

11am - 3.00pm

(or any time in between,                                         if you can spare an hour or two) 

AT; CWA Rooms, Tindale Street, Penrith, NSW 2176

Everyone welcome to help. We will supply the boxes to paint, the patterns, the paints to use on the day. All you need to bring is something to eat and your brushes and usual painting supplies.

The boxes we are painting are in the main small papier ' mache ones, so if you do have any patterns that size it would be great.

If you are unable to make it on the day, donations of boxes either painted or unpainted will be most welcome.



Workshop with Kate Belton

Thanks Kate!

Such a relaxing workshop we shared on Saturday afternoon at Mountains and Rivers, Kate is an excellent teacher.

We all painted the background first, Hands on, Messy and a lot of Fun to paint, also it was quite different to what we are used to. Most enjoyable!
When everyone had settled down we carried on to paint our fish in a more Folk Arty sort of way.
