whats a workshop at the Sunflower like?
It's all about the vibes! I guide you step by step, but you’ve got the freedom to go rogue and make it your own. We paint, sip, laugh, and often sing along to a killer playlist while exploring your own style. No rules, just a sunny space, your favourite tunes, and a a creative activity that's good for the soul.
can I bring alcohol?
Yes, you are more than welcome to bring a bevvy, alcoholic or otherwise. I have plenty of glassware and ice for you to use, and the closest bottle shop is at the Gero behind KFC. Although its a workshop and 'sip', often people bring their fave kombutcha or sip on the provided soft drinks.
are your workshops beginner friendly?
Absolutely! I once had someone say they hadn't painted in 51 years, and she had a fab painting at the end. Due to the step by step nature, I can guide both total novices and practicing artists to learn new techniques and complete their painting.
what happens if i cant come to my event?
Tickets to public sessions are non-refundable if its less then 7 days to the event, but you are welcome to give your ticket to someone else or send it to a friend. If you have a private event, click on that page to see the specific ts&cs
do you collab with businesses/organisations?
Absolutely, I've created custom classes for peeps such as the City of Greater Geraldton Council, Headspace, NACC, Geraldton Kite Festival, Blue Heelers/Euphorium etc etc. Send me an email with some ideas on how we can collab and then we will book a face to face meeting to chat dets.
what ages are your workshops suited to?
School holiday classes/one offs will give an age recommendation. My after school art is recommended for 6-9yos and then 10yo+ as hanging out with friends their own age is as important as artistic ability. If the kiddo is younger or needs additional support, parents are more than welcome to sit next to. You can even purchase a second ticket, and do the activity together.
For paint and sips/little print and mini canvas, kiddos are welcome to come as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Minimum age is 10ish.
what are your opening hours?
I don't have regular opening hours, as I am a one man band and work a lot of weekends. I might also be out painting a wall! If the sign is out, come on in, or email me/message me on Facebook to ensure we don't miss each other. Please note, Wednesdays I am not in the studio.
where are you, and where do I park?
I'm at 237 Marine Terrace, right next to the cinema in Geraldton. The street outside is only an hour, so I would recommend parking down in front of Stow Gardens and the Sail Inn.
I'm a creative person, can I run a workshop?
I absolutely encourage artists and creatives to run their own workshops, the more art experiences in town the better. Get in touch to see if your idea is a good fit for the space, and we can talk. It's $75 for two hours, and $150 for 4.
