PAINTING WORKSHOPS 2025
Acrylic Painting Workshops in Gisborne – Small Group Art Classes at LC Studio
Coming in 2026 - Water colour workshops with Emily Cathcart of emmieathome.com
Join one of my relaxed painting workshops at LC Studio in Gisborne — a creative experience designed for small groups of 2–3 people. Held in my light-filled home studio close to Gisborne CBD, these 2.5-hour sessions are perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to unwind and explore their creativity. You’ll be guided in painting with acrylics on canvas, and you can choose to paint whatever inspires you — from landscapes to abstract pieces or pet portraits. All materials are supplied, and no experience is necessary.
Workshops are $80 per person, with flexible times available to suit your schedule.
​
Keep an eye on my Instagram page for regular updates on when the workshops are running. If there isn't a time advertised that suits you, let me know and we will work it out.

FAQ
-
"None of my friends are interested in joining me - will you put me in a group?"
Yes - I'll pop your name down and when I have other individuals, I'll create a group and let you know.
-
"When are they held?"
I'm flexible with times - keep an eye on my Instagram page for updates on available days. Weekdays during school hours, or weekends anytime, are usually available.
-
"What will I paint?"
Anything that inspires you! I recommend bringing a photograph of a special landscape, or your pet, or you are welcome to pick some flowers from the garden and draw inspiration from nature. Another option is to create an abstract piece where you simply explore what colours you love and arrange them on the canvas as you please. Please note, I am not an expert at painting people... you can sign up for a water colour workshop with Emily Cathcart who is excellent at painting people and will guide you through the process.
-
"I love your style of painting - will you teach me how you paint?"
Absolutely! I provide all the paint colours that I personally use in my paintings so I will teach you composition, layering and how to mix colours so you will be able to create a piece of art similar to my own style.
-
"Can we bring wine?"
Of course - I'll provide the glasses
-
"I don't have any experience - can I still come?"
No experience is necessary - we will start with the basics. The great thing about small groups is that I can spend a lot of time with each person and work with their skill levels.
-
"I have a large group that would like to do a workshop - can we still come?"
At this stage I don't have room to accommodate a large group, however I am happy to bring all materials to a venue of your choice and set up there. Contact me to discuss options.
