Has drawing with marker always been intimidating? It won’t be after today! Lose your inhibitions using some simple techniques with a black marker and paintbrush. Play with abstraction or focus on more realistic imagery – the choice is yours. Bring some photos for reference – ones you have taken yourself or have permission to use for reference. We will do a little “playing”, then work on a couple of finished images for the majority of the class.

Are you drawn to interesting textures, abstract-ish images and prints? This workshop with collage artist Stephanie Katrina, is exceptionally playful, freeing, and simple. No experience required.

In the afternoon, we will use our painted papers and other ephemera to create our choices of landscapes, geometric abstracts, florals, or whatever art expression we want. Stephanie will provide guidance and set us up for success. You will leave with one or more unique pieces, and with the confidence and materials to apply your new skills for further creations

Children’s Picasso Masks
2026-09-26 13:00 - 15:00 | Ampere Makerspace Kawartha Lakes, 12 Peel Street, Lindsay, Ontario, K9V 3L8
Do you like to make funky and unusual things? This workshop is for children who want to learn about what made Pablo Picasso so famous, why his work is so unusual, about abstract art, and what we can learn and use in our own art. We will look at some of Picasso’s pieces and play a game to learn more about his style. The majority of our time will be spent creating our own large (approximately 2-foot x 1.5-foot) Picasso-inspired face. We will use cardboard, oil and/or chalk pastels, and learn some 3-D tricks for our masterpieces.

Artist: Amber Hill
Amber Hill is an artist and teacher from Orillia. Nature has been Amber’s biggest inspiration. She transitioned from acrylics to oils when she realized she was drawn to working with the slower drying time of oils and the depth they can bring to her work. She has lots of tips and tricks to share with beginner oil painters, things she wished she had known when she started her own journey with oils.

This class is intended for those who have taken the Beginner Scratchboard class or have acquired a sound basic level of experience. In this class, you will have a choice to bring your own projects to work on and receive guidance and suggestions from Lori, or you may also choose to use a reference photo provided by Lori to fit an 8”x10” board.
We will focus on more advanced techniques, especially as they apply to realism. Lori will demonstrate so you can observe how she tackles certain elements. Bring a new project to start and if you wish, any project already underway for which you need advice or guidance.
