Participants of all skill levels are invited to join artist Mark Stebbins for a hands-on ink painting workshop inspired by his exhibition, The Lingering Instant. Explore Mark’s unique approach to painting using a fine-tipped dip pen with vibrant acrylic inks on smooth Yupo paper. Learn how to layer colours and build textile-like patterns out of lines and “pixels,” balancing precision and spontaneity. Whether you’re new to art or looking to expand your studio vocabulary, you’ll leave with fresh approaches, finished studies, and new ideas for building complex patterns out of simple gestures.
Discover more about Mark’s work in Mark Stebbins: The Lingering Instant, on view April 17–August 30, 2026.

Step outside and paint in the moment! In this workshop, you’ll use watercolours to capture your surroundings quickly, practicing the en-plein-air style.
Learn to see light, colour, and movement in a new way while creating strong, balanced compositions. Discover the joy of painting on location, connecting with the scene, capturing atmosphere and mood, and building a more spontaneous, expressive approach to your art.

Slow down, get creative, and embrace the mess! In this 3-hour junk journaling workshop, you’ll use found papers, collage, and playful mark-making to create layered journal pages full of personality and memories.
Bring your own treasures - photos, receipts, recipes, take out menus, concert tickets, maps, notes, brochures or pamphlets - and we’ll provide everything else, including journals. No experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
