Six art classes over six weeks that will take your art knowledge to a new level - OUTDOOR undercover area at Settlers Art Studios

Commences Thursday 5th May 2022 - 9am to 12.30pm (and continues on 12th, 19th, 26th May, 2nd and 9th June) - ticket prices include all six classes. Only available in this block of six (not singularly) as you will be developing your own unique artwork over the six classes and learning during this process.

Time 9.00am to 12.30pm. These classes are held at the gorgeous Settlers Cottage Shelter (an undercover outside venue facing Settlers Cottage, surrounded by nature, with weather protective side walls if needed). Tables and Easels provided.

Artist, Louise Collier, has been teaching art for over ten years including most recently her business Art Outdoors (see Facebook reviews on FB @artoutdoorswa).

Historic Settlers Cottage is located at 180 Pearson Street, Churchlands (click map link below), is owned by the National Trust and currently used as Art Studios. The setting is idyllic, nestled close to the Herdsman Lake, surrounded by trees and wildlife. The venue for our workshops is in the adjacent Shelter area (outdoor undercover with weather protection) and on the shady verandahs of the cottage. With Covid, this is the perfect way to enjoy art activities.
