Always wanted to be able to play the songs that you like? Let's get started! We can focus on a fast song-playing method or we can go step by step into the world of guitar playing so that you will be able to understand the theory behind it and be able to play notated music.
If you love singing you'll want to improve. And the truth is we all have something to improve when it comes to singing. I can help you find out what you can do differently so that using your voice will feel easier and then we will keep working towards your vocal development and repertoire expansion. This feeling of freeing your voice and reaching it's potentials is more than rewarding. Singing lessons can do that!
Join artist Julie Galante for an afternoon of homemade botanical inks made from foraged plants and kitchen scraps. In 2023 Julie dove into ink-making, producing more than 300 inks from over 100 different botanical sources. In this three-hour workshop, Julie will share what she’s learned from all these inky experiments, giving you the skills and knowledge to create your own library of botanical colours. She'll share her core learnings, including the best ways to extract colours, the best plants to use, and how to preserve and store your inks. We'll also cover different ways of finishing your inks depending on how you'd like to use them. Please note this workshop will take place in Julie's Stockbridge studio, which is accessible via three flights of stairs. We will also spend part of the workshop foraging outside, weather permitting, so please dress accordingly. Tea and coffee will be provided.
