Brush and Ink - Children's Workshops

In these workshops we will learn to work with the four treasures of traditional Chinese and Japanese ink painting - ink stick, ink stone, brush and paper - and the beautiful tonal qualities of black ink and water.

Beginning with the ritual of mixing the ink, we will explore a different natural or imaginative theme each workshop. We will learn a range of approaches to brushwork in a process that helps cultivate a sense of grounding, calm and free creative expression. All materials will be provided on the day, and children will leave with finished paintings to take home with them. Small class sizes allow the content to be tailored to different levels of familiarity with the work - all are welcome, no previous painting experience required. Classes are primarily tailored to children 6-12 yo, but if your child is older or younger please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss.

Upcoming workshops:

Our next two children's painting workshops will be held on January 13 and 19 2026, as part of the summer school holiday program at the Red Door Studio, Heidelberg West.
