Marlborough Community Potters’ Exhibition
Watercolour Kowhai Class with Vasu Singh
Tuesday 10th September 2024 saw our studio host another fabulous watercolour workshop run by the lovely Vasu Singh. Participants were guided through the delicate process of capturing the beauty of the Kowhai tree in full bloom. Vasu's expertise and gentle teaching style helped attendees explore various techniques.
The workshop attracted both beginners and experienced artists, creating an inspiring atmosphere where creativity flourished. Everyone left with not only a completed piece of art but also newfound knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the nuances of watercolour painting.
As always, our studio continues to be a space for learning, sharing, and connecting through the joy of art. We look forward to more enriching workshops in the future.
Welcoming Communities Expo
On Tuesday 10th September 2024 we took part in the inaugural Welcoming Communities Expo held at the Event Centre. Lots of networking with other organisations and meeting people new to Marlborough. Lovely vibe and live performances.
Oil Painting with Mieke Davies
This year, Mieke Davies has held two intermediate Oil Painting workshops in the studio over two separate weekends. She had some very focused students who produced great results.
Passionfruit Flower Drawing Workshop with Vasu Singh
The 30th August saw a group of people join together with Vasu in the studio to understand the geometry in botanical drawing, using linework and pen rendering to bring the artwork to life.
Hawaiki Hou Exhibition
Recently we left the gallery in the capable hands of the guys from Hawaiki Kura, Kiley, Donna and Tineka while they held a fantastic pop-up photography exhibition. During the 5 days they had a constant stream of visitors, some days queuing outside waiting for them to open up! They also booked in visits from local schools for educational sessions.
