Join us at Shades & Co Studios in Canning Vale, Perth, for a transformative experience at the 'Perth - Make Your Own Soft Pastel Set Workshop'. Led by Shannan Nicole Artist, this workshop is a delightful journey into the world of soft pastel making.
In this hands-on activity, you'll not only learn how traditional soft pastels are crafted but also get the chance to create your very own set of 12 artist-quality soft pastels. No prior experience is needed; this workshop is perfect for artists, pastel enthusiasts, or anyone eager to explore the art of colour blending.
  • Work with artist pigments safely
  • Mix and create a stunning array of pastel colours
  • Understand pigment strength and colour blending
  • Shape and prepare your own unique pastel sticks

Your set of handmade pastels will need time to dry and cure properly before they are ready for use. They will be kept at the studio for about a week, allowing you to return and collect them, ready to infuse your artwork with a personal touch.
The process may seem intimidating at first, but rest assured, under Shannan's expert guidance, you'll feel comfortable and inspired throughout. Immerse yourself in the creative studio experience, where you'll not only create something beautiful but also gain a new appreciation for the art-making journey.
Let the joy of crafting your own materials elevate your creativity as you delve into the world of soft pastels. Unleash your inner artist, explore the magic of pigments, and take home a set of handmade soft pastels that will add a personal touch to your future masterpieces.
Come along, have fun with pigment, discover the art of colour, and uncover the beauty of creating your own soft pastels in this unique Perth workshop.

Shannan@Shades Studios
At Shades & Co Studios, we’ve transformed our creative space into a vibrant hub for artists and art enthusiasts. Since my journey with resin began in 2018, I’ve had the pleasure of exhibiting large-scale seascapes and selling numerous works to clients and galleries across Western Australia.
My artistic focus includes custom portraits in pastels and contemporary pieces in oils, with a particular passion for equine art that reflects my lifelong love for animals, especially horses. This development of my unique style has added depth to my portfolio of commissioned works.
