Join artist Amber Wallis for a workshop that explores colour and embraces the act of staining as a deliberate artistic choice.
With a focus on restraint and quiet consideration, Wallis will encourage a delicate approach to painting that allows the medium to speak without overworking. This process fosters a space for initial, magical conceptions to remain intact, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the materiality of art in a thoughtful and intentional manner.
