Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned painter, these classes invite you to explore colour, shape and texture in a way that feels liberating and fun.

Find your unique style at this joyful abstract art workshop

If you’ve ever felt curious about abstract art but didn’t know where to begin (or if you’ve dabbled but want to take things further), this joyful art workshop is the perfect creative playground. Led by intuitive artist Cathy Sofarnos, this class is all about helping you find your own artistic voice through exploration, experimentation, and fun.

You’ll try out a mix of mediums and tools, from brushes to unexpected mark-making techniques, while learning how to play with colour, contrast and composition.

Along the way, you’ll craft a collection of small paintings and gift cards that make beautiful keepsakes or thoughtful handmade gifts.

Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll leave this class with more than just a finished product, you’ll walk away with confidence in your creative instincts and a fresh perspective on what art can be.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a curious creative, this class offers a fun and satisfying introduction to the world of printmaking.

You’ll learn how to carve your own abstract landscape into a lino block, mix your colours and print your design onto a variety of quality papers—including luxe Hahnemuhle etching paper. With guidance throughout the class, you’ll walk away with a gorgeous set of original prints and your custom lino block to keep, so you can keep printing at home.

It’s the perfect mix of creativity and craft, ideal for a relaxed solo session or even a small private group if you're looking for a unique way to celebrate something special—birthday party ideas anyone? Just bring a little inspiration, your favourite snacks and clothes you don’t mind getting inky. You’ll be all set for a seriously fun and creative experience.
