Workshops & Classes
IMMERSE YOUSELF IN CREATIVITY
The Workshop Studio is open and ready for you!
For the past 5 years, I've had the opportunity to teach students from my home studio. My idea to renovate a large space to use for workshops and teaching classes went into motion during COVID-19. Being in lockdown freed up time to clear out the space and set it up to be a usable studio where students could come to learn, create and make lasting friendships with other artists.
I began teaching pouring workshops. As interest has grown, I've added weekly classes in painting and drawing. You'll find a few different days and time slots available to you. Pay-as-you-go makes it easy for you to fit weekly classes into your busy schedule.
At the Thursday night food and art club (as we've named it) students can bring food to share with each other. There is a short catch up while eating dinner and afterward, students get to work on their creations.
I hope you consider joining me for a workshop or class. If you have any questions, please email me at artist@evafolks.com. I look forward to seeing you!

We’ll be:

Creating two 8x8” pours (1 on canvas and 1 on wood panel)

Discussing what we need to have on hand for pouring

Make sure you wear clothing and shoes you can get paint on. Pouring can be a bit messy!

Leaning about colour is key for any artist. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about and paint a colour wheel with primary, secondary and tertiary colours, along with scales for values, tints, tones and shades. These will become important references you can refer back to when you're creating your next masterpiece!
We'll also be discussing warm and cool colours along with the benefits of using a minimal colour palette.
Before the end of the workshop, we will use what we've learned and mix colours to match real objects.
