Sip and Dip Workshop - October 13, 11:00am - 7:00pm
What better way to spend your vacation than creating your own scarf with a glass of wine at Volcanic Hills Estate Winery?
We bring the beautiful, ancient art of water marbling to the 21st century by inviting you to be the artist. Come and make your own water marbled silk scarf or art canvas. Each artist chooses their colours and floats the paint one drop at a time on the surface of the water, then uses marbling combs, rakes, or stylus to create the design of their liking. All ages welcome!
Tickets are booked by time slot…for example, 11-11:45am silk scarf. In that time slot we will show you a demonstration, and then you will create your masterpiece! Great memories are made with good friends or family and a little creativity.
Family Art Sunday - October 13, 12:00pm - 4:00pm
Join the Kelowna Art Gallery for an exciting art-making experience. Since 1997, we have welcomed the public every Sunday to engage in creative activities and explore current exhibitions. Through hands-on activities, helpful instruction, and age-appropriate conversation, Family Sundays open up the world of art and artists to children and adults.
The theme for October 13 is Fall Foliage Painting. Taking inspiration from the landscapes of Canadian women artists featured in the exhibition Through Her Eyes, young artists will look to the changing leaves of fall to create a study of warm colours using fluid acrylic paints.
