Hi, my name is Emilie Walsh and I'm an artist and educator. I run Couleur, a small printmaking studio in Brunswick East. Come and learn block printmaking with me: my classes are fun, engaging and adapted to all levels!
I believe artists have a mission to engage, educate and spark joy and curiosity: Couleur is the perfect place to start learning printmaking and gain autonomy to print from home.
