Summer art workshops offered at museum

The staff at the Wellington County Museum and Archives are accepting registrations for their popular series of summer art workshops.

This year, the program celebrates 20 years.  

It begins July 3 and concludes July 31.

This season offers a broad variety of two, three and five-day courses in oils, acrylics, watercolours, sumi-e brush painting, photography, fibre arts, illumination, collage, printmaking, encaustic, and fused glass, mosaic, and chalk pastels.

Held in spacious, light-filled rooms in the museum and around its extensive property, these workshops are offered as a week-long or weekend experience.

All classes run from 9am to 4pm with a lunch break.

Many favourite instructors are returning, including Debbie Thompson Wilson, Meredith Blackmore, Nan Hogg, Jean Loney and Bonnie Steinberg.  

The museum is also welcoming six new instructors: Laurie Skantzos, Ash Kearns, Saskia Wassing, Supria Karmaker, Roslyn Levin and. Pearl Van Geest – the 2014 City of Guelph’s first “Artist in the Community.”
