Recent reviews of Mixed Media Mark Making Workshop
- 5/5 from Lisa Schmutter, attended May 2026: I did a mixed media art class with Sam Gardiner. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Sam was such a great teacher and and I believe everyone in the class felt like they learnt a great deal and were encouraged and supported by Sam. Fun, informative and very worthwhile.
- 5/5 from Shay Pappas, attended May 2026: Amazing class! I learnt sooo many texture and mark making techniques that I had never tried before!! The day went so fast I was having so much fun
- 5/5 from Eric Charles Collins, attended May 2026: Sam, thanks for your wonderful knowledge and patience with us today. The venue was excellent great staff. Thankyou Eric.

Sam Gardiner
5.0 (3)
Samantha Gardiner is a Macedon Ranges mixed media artist whose work celebrates texture, layering and lived history. She embraces the imperfect, revealing process, repair and raw edges. Working with mixed media, Samantha finds beauty in the overlooked, transforming the worn and weathered into poetic works of feeling and form.
Her technique of adding and removing layers of mixed mediums, including; ash, paint, plaster, wax, collage and her homemade charcoal sticks (made from her own orchard prunings!) result in a rich painterly understory that adds depth to her celebration of line, movement and subject matter — be it representational or abstract. Samantha`s art has a distinct energy and style that gives voice to how she interprets and responds to everyday life. She spends her days enjoying nature`s vibe and honing her art practice from her studio in the Macedon Ranges, traditionally known as Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung country, Victoria, Australia.
