We will be trying different compositions, different palettes, and different sizes of canvasses. We will mainly be working from photos, but in a painterly manner. One objective for this course is to take either a photo, and do a small ‘little gem’ in a short time, or take a plein air painting and try larger canvas – a fear a lot of artists have. Moving on up so to speak. We will touch on topics that always give artists trouble – colour and value, composition, perspective, and loosening up. Come join this friendly, relaxed class. Class demonstrations based on your input, time to work on your own subjects, a chance to challenge yourself!

La superposition de différents types de laine, l’ajout de pièces nuno en soie et coton, unies et imprimées, les nœuds, les trous, la couture, sont autant de techniques qui pourront être abordées.

Chacun d’entre nous créera son propre échantillon de tissu réalisé grâce au feutrage à l’eau. Ce dernier pourra par la suite servir à la création d’un livre d'art unique. Cet atelier dynamique et de nature exploratoire sera un véritable laboratoire pour l’échange d’idées, la recherche d’inspiration et pour faire le plein d'énergie créatrice!

Cette classe est adaptée tant pour les artistes textile débutants qu’avancés. Il y aura certainement quelque chose de nouveau pour tout le monde!

Register Working with leather can be fun and satisfying for people of all ages. Researchers have proven that stamping leather is therapeutic. Working with leather is physically and emotionally rewarding and has been used in hospitals, prisons and for young offenders and special needs children. While you hammer away, you can get lost in thought and release a lot of energy…in a productive, healthy and creative way.

During this workshop, students will make 3 small items: a keychain, a bookmark and a bracelet, which they will take home with them at the end of the class.

Le travail du cuir est amusant et convient aux personnes de tous âges. Des chercheurs ont prouvé que l'estampillage du cuir était thérapeutique. Le travail du cuir est bénéfique tant aux niveaux physique qu’émotionnel et a été utilisé dans les hôpitaux, les prisons, avec les jeunes délinquants et les enfants aux besoins particuliers. Alors que vous martelez la matière, vous pouvez vous perdre dans vos pensées et libérer beaucoup d’énergie… de façon productive, saine et créative.

Lors de cet atelier, les étudiants compléteront trois petits objets: un porte-clés, un signet et un bracelet, qu’ils conserveront à la fin de la classe.
