Printmaking Workshops
Printmaking on a Gel Plate
A fun class where we make a range of prints and patterns that can be used as their own artwork or to incorporate into mixed media art.
You'll learn different ways to make a huge variety of smaller prints - using lots of different tools. We make the prints on a gel plate - and you'll get the recipe to make your own at home. As a bonus - you can also be shown some secrets of Mono printing so you can truly create art like no-one else.
You'll feel you have accomplished a lot of work by the end of this 2-hour workshop.
Colour Mixing Workshops
Any medium - acrylic, oil, watercolour
Let's get back to basics with some basic colour mixing. Colour can be complex especially when you are starting your creative journey, but this workshop will simplify the process for you.
This workshop is for either beginners or more experienced artists wanting to learn some tips and tricks to make sophisticated colours. You will walk away with some reference sheets for future use.
As we've added new workshops - this Colour Mixing Workshop can be booked by contacting Beth by email or phone. We can work out a good time for you. Max 2 people required for class to go ahead. For this class you will need to bring your preferred medium - acrylic, oil or watercolour. You just need the primary colours plus white & black. A list of the colours & materials for future use is here.
"If you are looking for a great mid-week activity, then I highly recommend an Artopia session with Beth. I really enjoyed reconnecting with my "creative" side and Beth was a very knowledgeable and attentive art teacher. She is patient and takes the time to demonstrate techniques in a way that is easy to understand. Most importantly, Beth makes sure you have lots of fun! I learned that there are no mistakes in art. You allow your piece to unfold and take a life of its own. I was very chuffed with my final works and felt a great sense of accomplishment!"
