Two Day Creative Workshop with Natalie Fernandez
Monday 19 January 2026
Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th January 2026
In this workshop we will make up our own palette of textured paper using a gelli press, which we will then use to create a painting using paper instead of paint.
The paintings will be created by layering different tones of paper over each other to create rich layers of intense and beautiful colour culminating in a still life or landscape.
Glen Eira Cheltenham Art Group
Ink Workshop with Maxine Wade
Thursday 15 January 2026
During this workshop, we will explore the different properties of INKS and use a variety of tools to apply this medium to paper. I will provide you with a range of subjects to use to explore both WATERPROOF and WATER SOLUBLE INKS.
Drawing cartridge paper is not suitable to use with inks, so your paper needs to be either a mixed media pad A3 size or quarter sheet size of watercolour cotton paper – but a lighter weight than 300gsm.
