AN upcoming workshop is set to run next week aimed at giving budding creatives a taste of both a glass of red as well as an often-used painting method.<\/p>\n
Next Thursday, visual artist Nikkole Weightman will host a three-hour watercolour and wine class run out of Ellington\u2019s Wine Bar on Sturt Street.<\/p>\n
She said it\u2019ll be a fun and insightful evening for people looking to explore the medium.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe aim of the workshop is to just have a really fun night, something different and all artwork will actually be framed on the night, so everyone will go home with a finished artwork to hang,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will entail a night of watercolour, food, and wine. People should look forward to a really fun, inviting workshop, and a night filled with yummy food and wine and a stunning view.\u201d<\/p>\n
Weightman said the workshop will be capped at roughly 20 attendees.<\/p>\n
Since leaving her previous profession as an emergency nurse last year, she held her first solo exhibition back in May, and is currently studying her Cert III in Visual Arts at Oxygen College.<\/p>\n
Weightman\u2019s foray into workshop teachings is a recent one, with her initial sessions taking place early last month.<\/p>\n
She said Ellington\u2019s is an ideal place to impart her experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve visited Ellington\u2019s quite a lot and thought how could we use this space for a workshop? Ellington\u2019s has been amazing, supportive, and adaptive for this workshop,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be two artworks for participants to choose from: a sunset or florals. Both will be painted on the night by me, as the leading artist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super excited to see how this one goes. It\u2019s an expansion of my watercolour knowledge and love that was seen in my Unicorn Lane Exhibition.\u201d<\/p>\n
The workshop will run from 6pm to 9pm with tickets ranging from $75 to $100 based on meal options and available at the Nikkole Weightman Designs webpage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
