emily veale, from female form watercolouring
chelsea, from the art of pasta making and creating a feast with wine in hand.
I have been a practising artist for over a decade, specialising in both figurative and abstract use of pencil and watercolour, focused mainly on the human face and form.
I love finding a new fascinating face to depict, like a unique eye colour or the shape of a nose, capturing it as I see it and paying homage to the model.
It is so simple yet so complex, open and limitless – there are so many beautiful shapes and tones to be found in this medium! A love of a good happy accident and betting it all on a single brush stroke that is what makes using watercolour paint such an expressive and exciting art form! Every single watercolour piece is so tied to the artist that created it.
I run Good Times Pasta Bar in Fitzroy North. I have been cooking for ten-plus years. I’m also a textile designer so with this pasta-making class I want to teach you the basics and also bring in some fun design elements to making pasta.

I'm an independent ceramicist specialising in teaching and functional ceramics. I've been practising ceramics for seven years. I was primarily self-taught until 2018 when I moved to Rome and spent three years working under a master artisan. I craft high-quality functional ware, made to last. My work blends ancient southern European-inspired form with a contemporary, minimal aesthetic.
My focus is to encourage students to practice mindfulness and flow, emphasising the value of the synergy between creativity, relationship with self and connection with others. All things which are essential human needs and which when fulfilled, nourish us and allow us to bring new energy to our
everyday lives.
This year I plan to provide specialised workshops in ceramic painting, hand building and terrazzo. My workshops will include traditional antipasto and prosecco, making them an outlet for both creativity
and social enrichment.
I’m a multidisciplinary artist and primary school art teacher. My approach to artmaking is playful and experimental. I can’t settle on a medium, so I dip in and out of them all! I’m drawn to the influence of
connecting through artmaking, whether that be with our surroundings, others or ourselves, and I believe that creativity and creating should be accessible to everyone. My style of teaching is warm, calm, and relaxed. Balancing giving you the freedom to create/explore with gently guided activities.
I’m passionate about this workshop because it brings playfulness back into artmaking. We have so few opportunities as adults to just play with materials.
I view creativity and art-making as something that should be accessible to everyone, not just those in creative industries or who’ve been told they’re good at it. This resonates throughout the workshop, it’s inviting and welcoming to everyone from all different experiences with art/creativity. Art has an incredible way of making us look closely and notice parts of our world that we haven’t seen before. It’s a form of mindfulness that keeps us in the present moment. This workshop is like a massage for your brain, you’ll leave feeling refreshed and inspired.
