Five Weeks

Join us on an adventure into new worlds in art where unbridled minds roam freely, letting the mediums and materials be our guides!
In this workshop we will explore our inner landscapes, the neighbourhood of St. Boniface and a variety of mixed mediums. We will break through the limits of composition and form as we dwell in a nursery of idea generation and inspiration drawn from nature and our own childlike fantasies, limited only by our own imaginations- where sky trees grow from clouds and dark caves break open into nebulous worlds lurking in the corners of dimensions beyond our earthly confines.
This workshop is designed to inspire and relax your mind so your imagination is free to lead your artistic journey. With occasional instruction, and free range learning through a gently guided exploration of form, composition, technique and mediums. You will make your inner child proud with what you will create!
