Eryldene is excited to announce that we will be running a Painting in Pastels workshop with artist Nick Hollo in September at Eryldene on Saturday 19th September 2026, 9:30 am-1 pm.
In a workshop designed for families (anyone aged 8+), Sydney artist Nick Hollo will introduce you to working with pastels – how to set up a picture, choose colours and create art! You will be inspired by the beautiful heritage house and garden at Eryldene as you work with Nick and experiment with the medium of oil pastels.
Eryldene will provide materials and you are also welcome to bring your own pastels/crayons/papers. Feel free to bring a picnic to enjoy relaxing in the grounds after the workshop.
Cost is $30-$60 per person, including morning tea. Places for the workshop are limited (20 people), therefore bookings are essential via the Eryldene website www.eryldene.org.au/new-events
About artist Nick Hollo
Living and working by the coast and harbour is the chief inspiration for Nick Hollo’s work as an architect, urban designer and artist. Using oil pastels enabled him to quickly capture the light, movement and ambience of places. He has exhibited annually at Gallery East, Clovelly 2000 - 2024 and more recently at the Dickerson Gallery in Woollahra. His work has been exhibited at the Historic Houses Trust Members’ Lounge and at the Manly Art Gallery and Museum.
