touch on some folk stories, astrology, energies and intentions

Sunday 25th October - 3.15 pm | Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart
What if your Full Moon plans were to spend an evening listening to whales, painting under moonlight and letting the watercolour do a little magic of its own? 🌕🐋
All materials provided| No experience needed
You experience:
the magic of whales — painting while listening to whale sounds & stories
magical watercolour effects — learning how to mix colours and create a few beautiful surprises along the way.
flows & line work — letting the paint move and using simple lines to bring our whales to life.
You’ll walk away with…
Your own Full Moon Whale artwork, plus plenty of little mini moons to keep.
A few hours of slowing down, playing with colour and switching off.
A deeper connection to yourself and the natural world — in this particular season.
And, if past workshops are anything to go by, you’ll probably leave saying:
“I feel so relaxed.”
location: studio 105, Level 1, Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart, 77 Salamanca Place
Depending on the numbers the gathering will take place either in the artist’s cosy studio or in an adjacent also very charming Salamanca Arts Centre Meeting Room
duration: around 2 hours, herbal tea provided
Can’t make the time - enquire for more time slots if you would like a private session with a small group between 2-4 people ( $90-120 per person depending on amount of people)

Post workshop feels:
“I really enjoyed the work show with Jess. Her care & passion for her craft shines through.
I loved the freedom & creative she gave the space”
- Niccola M.
“Jess gave clear instructions/explanations while allowing creativity & showed you can be creative at a very affordable price point.
I actually got my watercolour paints out for the first time in ages after your session as I was so inspired ”
