Felted Landscapes with Margaret Anne Smith 🏞️

May 13, 2023 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Learn to make a small felted landscape with instructor Margaret Anne Smith. In this workshop, you will learn about various kinds of wool and see how they work in this ancient craft of felt-making!

AX Workshops: Felted Landscapes with Margaret Anne Smith

Using two felting techniques (wet-felting and dry or needle-felting), play with colours and textures and create a wall hanging to take home with you. The instructor will provide samples and photos for inspiration, walk you through the wet-felting and needle-felting processes, and give options for framing your finished work.

Please bring 2 old towels, a hair dryer, a 50cm length of pool noodle or dowel or PVC piping, and a spray bottle. (The instructor will have a few extras on hand, if you can’t source all of these items.) There will be a one hour lunch break.

Amy Ash Workshop: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities 🌼

April 22, 2023 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Amy Ash’s deeply collaborative art Perennial Bodies: Collective Regrowth and Other Possibilities is about gathering to share energy and experience, seeding ideas and positive action.

Amy Ash at work

What can we learn from the kinship of tangled roots and whispering rhizomes, the sharing of re-sources for mutual flourishing, and the vibrant re-emergence after a long winter of rest?

A curiosity-driven event, we will come together to make and document experimental artworks that engage bodies fun, safe, and unusual ways. Encircling ideas of care, natural cycles, and connectivity with the more-than-human world, this workshop will be organized less like a class and more like a collaborative art-lab.

Let’s create a safe space for play, absurdity, deep attention, and contemplation, while imagining a future where we flourish in our understanding that we are not just in the world, but of it.
If we can listen to the world deeply enough, with our whole bodies, maybe we could seep past the divisions we’ve made and become a collective body, a super-organism of sensation.

Open to all levels of art-making experience, from pro to never-crafted-before —prompts, guidance, and support will be available whenever needed.

Along with creating the work itself, students will be treated to a brief history lesson through music, slides and anecdotes that will delve deeper into the subject matter.

Colour, Colour, Colour with Maggie Rose


This 4-day intensive workshop is an information blast on all aspects of colour and colour mixing as they relate to painting. No matter your medium of choice (oil, acrylic, gouache, water-colour, pastel…), this information is applicable to all. You will learn to mix colours swiftly and accurately; learn to achieve both dynamic and subtle colour in your work; learn to get more out of the colours you already have and to make smart choices when adding to your paint box. This class teaches you how to juggle all colour attributes – hue, value, temperature and chroma.

Most importantly, it explains how to alter only one aspect of a colour without altering other elements. You’ll learn how to reduce, maintain or heighten chroma and learn how to keep hues consistent while they are lightened or darkened through all modelling factors. You’ll learn why an understanding of colour temperature is critical to successful work.

We’ll explore a variety of palettes from the simplest to more complex. There will be many mixing demonstrations, application examples and time for the execution of small projects and exercises to ensure that you fully understand the information. This class is suitable for the beginner to the advanced painter.
