ART STUDIO SESSIONS

The intention of art studio sessions is to open up the studio so you can explore your creativity! Have you ever wished that you could spend more time with art but you don't know where to start? Dedicating time to your creativity is the first step. In this dedicated creative hour, you will have access to all of the studio supplies, so you can try out different mediums, have fun, let loose and make a mess (bonus: clean up is included!). If you are wanting to try something new, Elspeth can introduce you to the materials and give you tips.

There is no experience required to come hang out in the studio.

DETAILS

The Intrinsic Art Studio was created by Elspeth Robertson, clinical counsellor + art therapist in Vancouver, BC. These sessions are not art therapy and are open to anyone in the community. We need more open and non-judgmental spaces to explore art and creativity - this is what these studio sessions are for.

The art studio is located in a beautiful heritage building in downtown Vancouver. The building has 3 steps at the entrance and unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible. At the current state of the pandemic, masks are welcome but not required.

All materials are provided for you! In the studio, you will find:

• Coloured paper, cardstock, construction paper, mixed media paper, crepe paper
• Pencils, pens, coloured pencils, felt tip markers, wax crayons, oil pastels, chalk pastels
• Watercolour paint, tempera paint, gouache
• Plasticine, air dry clay, oven-bake clay
• Pipe cleaners, pom poms, feathers, wire
• Magazine cut-outs, scissors, glue sticks, tacky glue, tape
• Yarn, string, thread, tapestry needles, weaving looms, fabric

You are welcome to bring personal projects to work on in the studio or start something new, but please do not bring acrylic or oil paints. We don't have a good sink/ventilation set up for these types of materials.

Elspeth is well versed in many different art forms, but has special interest in weaving, embroidery, collage, watercolour and crepe paper flowers, and can offer tips for these mediums. Check out recent creations on Insta.
