Service Description

Brisbane artists Kate Quinn and Emily Day, and sensational still life painter, Natasha Ruschka, are hosting a divine art experience in Canberra in October 2024. You will enjoy a very special day of art, flowers, food, and wine, at the beautiful homewares mecca of Meet. Gather. Collect in Aranda, right in the middle of Canberra's sensational flower festival, Floriade. Running on either Saturday the 5th or Sunday the 6th October, from 9am-5pm, you will learn how to paint a simple floral still life in a small group, in a relaxed and encouraging environment. Suitable for beginners, as well as those with some hobby painting experience, you will spend a day learning new artistic skills while chatting and laughing with new or old friends. To start the day, we will gather in the gorgeous workshop space of the store to commence our painting. At lunchtime we will put the brushes down and walk upstairs to enjoy a delicious meal in the cafe 'Two Before Ten' upstairs. After class, the store will close and we will enjoy a private shopping experience, with the option of popping back upstairs for a drink afterwards. Emily and Kate will spread the small class of maximum 16 students into 'acrylics' and 'oils' painting groups, and will provide creative guidance in a non-judgemental, kind and supportive way. If you book with friends we will make sure you are seated together, and if you are coming on your own (many people do), we will ensure you are seated next to a friendly group and get extra special care! Tash, our guest artist, will float between both groups, ensuring everyone gets to learn from her in-depth skills and knowledge on creating a beautiful floral still life. Emily and Kate, look forward to welcoming you to a unique day in our nations capital. This Bloom Art Experience costs $540 per person for a full day, and includes all materials, morning tea, lunch, drinks during and after class, as well as a goody bag to take home.
