Whitney Spicer Artclass
Sun 18 June at 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

A guided painting experience at Heifer Station with local artist Whitney Spicer. Whitney will walk you through creating your own fishy-themed painting. All materials supplied, including paint, in Whitney’s own distinctive colour palette. You will walk away with a fun fish painting, much in line with the artist’s popular mini-fish series. Your completed artwork will be an 8 x 10 inch deep edge canvas with ready to hang painted edges. No experience is needed, a fun painting workshop, with as little or as much guidance as desired. Whitney will paint an artwork along with those undertaking the class, this piece will be gifted at the end of the class to one lucky participant.
Tickets include a glass of bubbles, art class and nibbles.
