Creative Workshop Series for Adults: Still Life Drawing & Painting • Clay Jug Making

Exhibition Inspired Workshops in Still Life Drawing and Painting, and Clay Jug Making.

Join us for a pair of creative workshops developed in response to our recent exhibition Paul Maseyk: Jugs in New Zealand Painting.

Beginning with a short guided walk through the exhibition, these evening workshops for adults invite you to slow down, look closely, and work hands-on with drawing, paint, and clay. Led in a relaxed, supportive setting, the sessions encourage experimentation, material play, and personal interpretation rather than technical perfection. Suitable for beginners and experienced makers alike, each workshop offers a different way of engaging with the exhibition through making, observation, and process.

Workshops can be booked and enjoyed singly or receive a discount when you book as a series of two.

Still Life Drawing & Painting Workshop

Slow down and spend the evening drawing and painting from still life arrangements inspired by the exhibition. This relaxed, guided session focuses on observation, composition, and playful experimentation with line, tone, colour and materials. Suitable for all experience levels.

Get your hands dirty in this tactile clay workshop responding to forms and ideas from the exhibition. You’ll explore hand-building techniques to shape a functional jug working with your own still life studies from the previous workshop or from a range of provided examples.
