Art workshops
With a high ceiling, natural lighting and carefully restored heritage interior, the physical space itself provides an inspiring environment for creating art. Add to that, workshops that are conducted by artists who are passionate about their craft. Art classes are catered to adult beginners as well as more advanced practitioners, and participants can choose from flexible, one-time two-hour sessions to more structured weekly lessons. Prices start from $50 for a two- hour session. Classes will commence in January 2006.

Based on a close and thoughtful observation of the subject in space, gestural drawing is especially used in figure drawing, where it encourages you to observe the whole figure and get a sense of the dynamism of the human form.

The workshops promote the use of photography as a means of self-expression. Lectures, examples, demonstrations and exercises highlight the varieties of expression which photography is capable of. Each class also simply explains technical matters. There will be a class blog and simple internet activities.
Emphasizing the development of a personal approach to photography, Painting with a Camera is recommended for those interested in photography, travel, poetry, design and visual communication. Students are encouraged to bring in work for critique.
