Art Weekend Workshops
(New Topics are added throughout the year.)

Our Weekend Art Workshops are ideal for those who cannot attend weekday classes but still want to immerse themselves in the world of art. Whether you are a beginner or looking to expand your artistic skills, these workshops are designed just for you. They also complement and extend the content covered in our Art Mentoring Program, offering a deeper dive into various techniques and practices.

In a welcoming and inclusive environment, you will explore a wide range of 2D and 3D art media. Experiment with new materials, techniques, and approaches as you grow your creative skills. Whether you are interested in painting, sculpture, or mixed media, our workshops provide the perfect opportunity to discover new passions and refine your abilities.

We invite you to suggest topics you would like to explore during the workshops, as your input is valuable. Therefore, we want to tailor our offerings to your creative needs. Simply, email your requests, and we will do our best to incorporate them into future sessions.

Are you not sure where you should start? Then take advantage of our complimentary 20-minute consultation. Because in this session you will get answers to your questions and get to know the trainer a little.  So, if you have questions about our workshops, classes, or programs we are here to help you find the right fit for your artistic journey.

Paper-making

Handmade paper is more than just fun to make. It’s an amazing process that allows you to add depth and character to your paper-based art projects. Why use mass-produced blank paper when you can upcycle raw materials to create paper with unique qualities and one-of-a-kind textures?

Papier-mâché sculpture for Beginners
