Join two local makers at stunning Bloom Homewares in Apollo Bay for a day of fun and creating. Spend the day with expressive artist, Joanna McOwen and ceramic artist, Belinda Hartwich from Bei Creative Studio to learn beginners' acrylic painting and clay work. 

You will start the day being surrounded by colour love! You will learn simple acrylic painting techniques, mark-making and layering whilst working towards a simple, abstract landscape inspired piece to take home.

After lunch you will spend a fun afternoon with your hands in clay creating your very own hand-built vases to decorate your home. Slow down, feel the earth between your fingers and get creating. 

No experience is necessary. Suitable for beginners or those with prior experience.

Date: Sunday 21st November 2021

When: 10am - 4pm

Where:  Bloom Homewares, Apollo Bay

Instructors: Joanna McOwen and Belinda Hartwich

To ensure participants get as much one on one time with Belinda and Joanna, this workshop is limited to 12 participants. 

Please note this workshop will be run as per government COVID safe guidelines, with social distancing and any other measures carefully observed. Participants will be required to check in to the venue upon arrival.

Tea, coffee and gluten-free morning treats are provided. Lunch is not included.

Painting Inclusions

All materials from paints to brushes, paper to canvases are included in the workshop. If you have your own brushes you would like to bring along please feel free. You will leave the workshop with your finished canvas and all your practice pieces. 

Clay Inclusions

Workshop cost includes the glazing/firing process. What I will do after the class:

+ I will transport your items to my studio, and carefully watch the drying process.

+ Once dry, I will load the kiln to bisque fire your ceramics for about 10 hours with a cooling process of 24hrs+.

+ The total process may take up to 4 weeks. Once finished, I will contact you, to arrange local delivery (Port Fairy/Warrnambool) or collection in Warrnambool.
+ If postage is required, this is an additional charge, at cost and arranged when your pieces have been fired.

*Please note that sometimes things crack either during the drying process or in either bisque or glaze firings. This unfortunately is out of my control and the nature of ceramics. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me via email: beicreativestudio@gmail.com

What to wear:

Wear comfortable clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting paint or clay on. Feel free to bring an apron or an old hand towel to cover your clothes
