Wonky Still Life

In this half day workshop, Sarah will show you how to create a fun, colourful piece of art from everyday objects. She'll show you how to embrace the wonky and create like no one is watching, using all sorts of media and letting your inner child do all the work. An abundance of colour will be the priority, and this class will loosen you up, proving there's no right or wrong when it comes to creativity. Let's get you ready for the rest of your week!
