NEXT WEEKEND | EXPLORE ABSTRACTION WITH ACRYLICS
With Kerry Wilson
Saturday 17 October & Sunday 18 October 2026
10pm-3pm
$295 | $285 Members

Juxtaposed still-life objects provide a starting point for exploring and developing your own unique style of abstract painting. Through exploratory drawings using collage, line, colour and shape, you will develop compositions that can be transformed into finished paintings.

Abstraction offers an exciting opportunity to experiment with visual pleasure, observation and automatic techniques. By simplifying and transforming the shapes, lines, colours and textures of objects, you can create a new visual world of colour, form and space. Facilitated by respected artist and teacher Kerry Wilson. Suitable for all levels.

So what was happening at the Butter Factory today?
Well NDHS students were given the opportunity to learn how to paint a portrait using the alla prima approach with Sunshine Coast Artist Lauren Jones and the potters in the studio continued to experiment with forms and glazes...
A very productive day....
