DIY Ceramic Clay Paint Palettes | TBD
In this workshop, participants will create their own one-of-a-kind desktop palette and paintbrush stand. Whether you want a travel palette or something more beautiful to use in your home studio, working with clay allows you to make the palette of your dreams!
Includes:
- Clay to craft your palette (we'll be working with white stoneware)
- Tools to sculpt
- Decorative tools to personalise and sign your palette
- All firings (bisque + glaze firings)
At the end of your class your palettes will be left to dry slowly and gently to avoid warping and they'll then go through two 12 hour firings in the kiln. You can expect your pieces in roughly 5 weeks.

Sketching is Fine with Continuous Lines
This workshop is about sketching directly with ink without lifting your pen from the paper. It is a fun drawing practice that challenges hand and eye coordination where a wonky drawing is acceptable. We will fill our accordion pages by sketching the rows of wonderful shops at the Junction.

Sketching BIG on Small
We enjoy carrying small sketchbooks because they are convenient to carry and fill up. However, there are times when you come across a large subject and feel the need for more space to sketch. In this workshop, Isabel will demonstrate techniques for sketching a large subject in a small sketchbook. This exercise focuses on maximizing space with a touch of imagination and creativity.
