Experimentation and Abstract Art with Emma Stilts
Tuesday, 7th of October, 4pm - 6pm
Inspired by Grace Crowley, and the works on loan from National Gallery of Australia, this workshop will explore abstraction. Abstract art uses elements like color, line, shape, and form to express emotions, ideas, or concepts. Participants will experiment with different mediums and respond to music to create their works. This will include palette knives, collage and inks, as well as drawing and painting.
This workshop will include a tour of the Gallery Collection, looking at works by Dale Franks, Stuart Boggs and other abstract artists in our collection. This is a great workshop for those who enjoy experimentation and trying new techniques.

Model and Printmaking with Emma Stilts
Wednesday, 8th of October, 4pm - 6pm
Join us for a creative workshop delivered by Emma Stilts. Participants will play with both relief and silk screen printmaking processes. Using printmaking materials participants will enjoy experiments with line, shapes and patterns using foam prints and silk screens, experimenting with making multi-coloured and multi-layered prints. Our class will take inspiration from leading Australian modernist printmakers - Margaret Preston and Thea Proctor. As well as contemporary printmakers – such as Megan Cope and Tim Maguire. Each participant will take their own unique prints from the workshop.
This workshop is perfect for those eager to explore art and printmaking in a creative and engaging way. An opportunity to use specialised equipment not always available at home.
