In-Person Workshops
Your creative safe haven in Oakford and Mandurah. Join us for relaxed, mixed media and watercolour workshops focused on process over perfection.




Art Journaling
Come spend a morning with us at The Craft Shed or our Mandurah venue and discover how satisfying art journaling can be when you keep it simple. These workshops are a dedicated safe haven where we prioritize process over perfection, focusing on the joy of creating rather than the final result.
I specialize in taking professional studio techniques and refining them for "real-life" application, so you can build your skills without the stress or the mess. Each month, we’ll dive into a new mixed media technique—from scribbling and scraping to collage and stamping—to help you expand your repertoire and find your creative spark. No art experience is needed; all supplies are provided so you can just show up, enjoy a cuppa, and play!
Abstract Watercolour and Mixed Media
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by watercolour, this is the class for you. In our Oakford and Mandurah workshops, I focus on simplifying this beautiful medium using low-mess techniques and easy-to-follow ideas that actually fit into a busy schedule.
I’ll show you how to take professional watercolour techniques and refine them for real-life application, focusing on building your skills and expanding your repertoire. We’ll explore everything from traditional washes to the versatility of watercolour pencils—all with a focus on process over perfection. Whether you’re a passionate creative looking for a quick, stress-free way to stay inspired or you’re just starting out, come enjoy a cuppa and learn how satisfying watercolour can be when you keep it simple.




Stop guessing and start creating. This workshop is designed for the hobbyist who wants to master the essentials of watercolour without the overwhelm. I’ll show you how to take professional techniques—like brush control, water-to-pigment ratios, and clean washes—and simplify them for a practice that fits your real life. Whether you’re a total beginner or looking to refresh your foundations, come enjoy a cuppa at The Craft Shed and build the confidence to create satisfying art, every time.
Watercolour Basics
Watercolour Colour Theory
Ever feel like your colours turn to mud the moment you mix them? In this specialty workshop, we take the "science" out of colour theory and replace it with simple, satisfying techniques. I’ll teach you how to mix with confidence using a limited palette, helping you achieve professional-looking results without needing a hundred tubes of paint. It’s about building a technique repertoire that makes your creative time more enjoyable and less stressful.
