Tell me about the gig:

Taught by local artist Ru Biini, Art Club is a space for curiosity, growth and showing up.

Do you want to kickstart your creativity but feel a bit overwhelmed? This is a space for absolute beginners! (and experienced artists). You’ll experiment with a fresh art prompt designed to loosen up your hand, challenge your habits and strengthen your creative instincts. You’ll learn simple, practical watercolour techniques like expressive painting, colour and composition, while building a process you can return to again and again.

Host: Tony (0466 388 027)
