Workshop 13

Freeform Fibres Gone Artsy

Artist Instructor Alyssa Light

Never have you seen something like this before! Using biodegradable water soluble stabilizers and a bundle of yarns and fibres, create stunning shapes that will strike up conversations everywhere you go. I love using my creations as (or in) my mixed media art. They add dimensions and visual stimulation like no other. Leaves or trees, flowers or fish – come and see a side of fibres you never knew was possible.

Workshop 12

Colour Cauldron - Wax-free Resist Dying

Artist Instructor - Alyssa Light

Are you fascinated by the movement of colour captured on fabric? Do you love Batiks? This workshop focuses on wax-free methods of creating stunning designs on fabric. Participants will experiment with various techniques, dyes, and materials. Everything learned can be re-created at home and used in home decor, on clothing, and in art.

Workshop 11

"She Is Strength" - Poppy Collage

Artist Instructor - Donna Downey

6 x 18" mixed-media canvas
This workshop is designed to guide you through the multi-layers building of creating an original mixed-media canvas”6 x 18". by using mixed media tags, modeling paste, gesso, tapes, fabric and paper elements each layer will lead you closer to creating a textural and beautiful piece of artwork celebrating strength and beauty. By keeping our color palette simple, using lots of dimensional elements and several simple techniques for applying texture you will tap into that inner artist and watch your blank canvas transform into an amazing collage.

Workshop 10

Encaustic Texture and Depth

Artist Instructor Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch

Join artist, author and educator Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch for this day of indulgence in rich texture and depth in encaustic - the art of painting in melted beeswax. Building translucent depth is a technique exclusive to the properties of encaustic painting and in

this workshop Patricia demonstrates the many possibilities through stencils,

resists, dry brushing, scraping back and masking off before giving participants a healthy block of time in which to indulge in all the waxy goodness themselves. Expect to not leave without a fever for encaustic!

Workshop 9

Colour Cauldron - 12 Step Colour Wheel Intro to Dyeing

Artist Instructor Alyssa Light

Always wanted to try your hand at fabric dyeing and have no idea where to start? This workshop is the perfect place to be! You will dye 12 fat quarters (20” x 22” pieces of fabric) that make up a colour wheel, and 4 multi-coloured pieces.

Expect to walk away with confidence in mixing solutions, your fear of dye resolved, and a hankering for more. ..Just think of the possibilities!
