The Shape of Us

Black Fig Gallery, Alstonville
3:00 – 6:00 p.m. (Arrivals from 2.45pm)
$120 | Limited to 15 places
Hosted by Black Fig Gallery + The Art Social
More than just a workshop, this is an afternoon of art, connection, and conversation. Together, we’ll reflect on the stories our bodies hold - their changes, their strength, their softness - and explore how creativity can honour the truths of being in our own skin.
Guided by artist and psychology student Laura Capner, with co-host gallerist Kalie Burgis, this intimate gathering weaves together watercolour, wine, and dialogue. We’ll explore the beauty of the female form through abstraction, embracing flowing lines, organic shapes, and expressive colour. No painting experience is required - this is about expression, not perfection.
All gallery profits from this event go directly to The Fig Fund, supporting low-income individuals and pensioners to purchase original art while uplifting local artists and keeping creativity alive in our community.
What’s Included:
A glass of champagne or wine
A beautiful afternoon tea with cheese and canapés
Our signature Elderflower & Rose iced tea
A mini watercolour lesson covering technique, colour theory, and abstract expression
All materials provided - watercolour paper, brushes, paints, and apron
Two guided paintings - each unique, each a reflection of you
