Enjoy an inspired and relaxing day making art in the garden, on the banks of the Mississippi River in Blakeney, ON. on the stunning grounds of Chandler Swain Pottery. Nurture your creativity, and jump-start the creative process through a series of exercises and experiments designed to slow us down and mindfully approach making art. This is a time for you to observe, reflect and create in beautiful outdoor setting.

We will work toward creating a mixed-media piece on canvas, which will reflect your experience of making art in the garden. We will focus on using color, drawing, painting and collage techniques. Participants are enouraged to bring in personal photos and 2D artifacts to include in their art. Although we will work toward finishing the piece; the emphasis will be on the artistic process and the experience of the day. There will be a small number of participants to ensure an intimate setting and time for one on one instruction.

Please bring a picnic lunch and your swim suit. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
