Looking back at our live art workshop under the sun at the 2024 annual Harmony Arts Festival last week!

On Wednesday Aug 7 everyone participated in “Printmaking without a press” where we used Gelli Plates to make mono prints.

Participants had a great time and all learned valuable layering and colour techniques.

Check out the schedule on our story for more dates and times. We are not hosting anymore workshops but are excited to see what other providers have in store under the sun!
