Wednesday Night Workshop:  Wildlings - diptychs, expression and Fauves

Be a wildling in the D-E-F of art as we continue our exploration of an artistic alphabet. 

Over the course of 2 hours, participants will be guided by facilitator and artist Yaz Gaté née del Mar to create their own art piece inspired by the Fauvism movement.  This relaxed workshop is all about colour and using acrylic paints in playful ways. Explore everyday scenes, bright colours and playful paint applications - while drinking and grazing on treats with other creatives.  

This workshop is suitable for ability levels, 18+ only.  

Materials and refreshments provided.

Yaz typically uses bold black lines and vibrant colour palette making her work distinctive.
