WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
On Saturday 8 September 2018, START takes us on a journey from production to curation, in paint to virtual reality. There will be workshops in printmaking, screen printing, etching, origami, clay, doodles, virtual reality painting with tilt brush and more! The space will facilitate an opportunity for all visitors from children to adults to participate in various workshops throughout the day.

Bring your whole family, sign up for a workshop or two, browse the exhibitions and installations and enjoy the atmosphere of a art fuelled space.
Here is an overview of the workshops that require you to purchase a ticket through Quicket:
Lillian Gray is the owner of Lillian Gray Fine Arts School. The school teaches the fundamentals of art in a manner that is easy to understand, no matter your age or level of artistic expertise. She uses only the finest quality paints and pigments, such as Winton and Winsor & Newton’s Artist Range, which she applies to high-quality, natural Belgium Linen canvas. Lillian studied at the Stellenbosch University and the Stellenbosch Academy of Design. Lillian's workshops vary from painting to clay, focussed around a specific artist.
Origami for Africa's vision is to see origami becoming a popular recreation in Africa, so that many more people will benefit from and be inspired by this wonderful activity. Cheryl Gibbs will be teaching three items: the shirt, the box and the flower. The cost will include all materials, and copies of diagrams, so that class participants can fold these items at home.
Louise Twiggs is a professional Artist, Watercolorist and Art Teacher who will teach you about water colour as a medium and the tools that are used, different water colour techniques in brief, mixing colours, leaving whites and paint application.
Prints on Paper will run an introduction to silkscreen printing. Join us for an introduction to the process of silkscreen printing and have the opportunity to print your own take home bag. The workshop will be facilitated by Isaac Zavale and Minenkulu Ngoyi of Alphabet Zoo.
