Join us for an immersive, hands-on adult art workshop inspired by the quiet elegance and timeless simplicity of Japanese Ukiyo-e art. This session invites you to explore winter landscapes through a minimalist lens—focusing on balance, negative space, gentle movement, and poetic atmosphere.
What You’ll Learn & Create
- An introduction to Ukiyo-e landscape traditions and their influence on modern minimalist art
- How Japanese artists use simplicity, line, and negative space to convey mood and season
- Techniques for creating winter landscapes with limited colour palettes and refined compositions
- Step-by-step guidance with space for personal interpretation and experimentation
- A finished minimalist winter artwork to take home
