SUMMARY:IN-HOUSE: **NEW - MAKERS CORNER**: Hey Look ... I Made My Own Sketchbooks! with Chari-Lynn Reithmeier
DESCRIPTION:***MAKERS CORNER*** \nMakers Corner brings members and non-members together\nfor relaxed\, hands‑on sessions exploring a wide range of creative projects. \n  \nHEY LOOK … I MADE MY OWN SKETCHBOOK!: With Chari-Lynn Reithmeier \nI Made Not ONE but TWO Sketchbooks! \nONE FULL DAY SESSION\nSaturday\, September 19th / 10:00 am – 3:00 pm \nLearning Outcomes: \n-Learn about paper engineering\, creating a new product out of existing materials. \n-Customize and create two unique sketchbooks! \nDescription of Sketchbook Construction: \nImagine using up art paper in a new and creative way!  Wouldn’t it be fun to make a sketchbook from scratch\, using two different binding techniques?  Originally offered as a workshop\, we decided it would be more fun to offer this as a Makers Corner\, a more informal gathering of creatives\, at a totally reasonable cost!  Create a sketchbook that opens flat\, with four signatures and has a sewn binding using the Coptic stitch method AND learn to bind a sketchbook that opens flat with a glued binding.   \nChari-Lynn is always so generous with her time and talent\, and really wants to bring about 10-15 people together to show us how it’s done!  Bring your lunch.  A materials kit will be available for an additional small fee ($5 or $15 dollars depending on what you need).  Let’s have some creative fun together.  We’re hoping to offer “Makers Corners” monthly or bi-monthly for the remainder of the year – to offer reasonably priced opportunities to learn and create! \nREGISTRATION and PAYMENT are required in advance. \nRegistration: \n-Members = $20.00\n-Non-members = $30.00\n(Optional Material Fees) \nMaterial kits can be purchased from Chari-Lynn directly at class. See materials list for more details of what to bring\, or buy a kit from Chari-Lynn (details follow). \nAdditional event information:\n \nOptional: There will be a small and large kit available from the instructor for a nominal fee. See following details: \nKit 1: Small fee for instructor provided materials of $5.00 for binding fabric\, thread\, 12 x 12 scrap book paper and two sheets mixed media paper.Kit 2: Also available for $15.00 is a kit with binding fabric\, thread\, 2 watercolour pads (student grade)\, 12 x 12 scrapbook paper\, two sheets mixed media paper and curved needle.\n \nMaterial List:\nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/98903810/4113953 \nPhotos:\nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/98903810/PhotoAlbums/62479 \nRegistration:\nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/event-6822897

SUMMARY:IN-HOUSE: Andrew Cheddie Sookrah - Colourful Brushstrokes!
DESCRIPTION:***IN-HOUSE WORKSHOP*** \nCOLOURFUL BRUSHSTROKES – BRINGING YOUR BRUSHSTROKES TO LIFE!: With Andrew Cheddie Sookrah \nTWO FULL DAY SESSIONS\nFRIDAY\, SEPT. 25TH & SATURDAY\, SEPT. 26TH \nFocus:  CONNECTING VARIED BRUSHWORK AND COLOUR!  One of the most important aspect of the art creation process is the way you present your brushstrokes; its tone\, emotion and feeling tells its own story\, as well as how you use colour to create atmosphere! \n\nMedium: Acrylic \nLevels: Suitable for all levels \nRegistration: \n– Members: $140.00\n– Non-members: $170.00 \nCourse Description:   \nBrushstrokes are at the heart of every painting—each one carrying tone\, emotion\, and a story that contributes to the larger narrative of your work. When your brushwork supports that story\, your painting becomes more cohesive\, expressive\, and aligned with your vision. \nHow colour and brushwork works together in harmony can really bring your artwork to life! \nIn this engaging acrylic workshop\, Andrew Sookrah guides participants through the process of building a strong foundation and developing a confident\, expressive brushstroke repertoire. Working from a range of inspirations—whether landscape\, still life\, abstraction\, or reference images—you’ll explore how thoughtful mark-making transforms a painting. This workshop is ideal for beginner to intermediate artists ready to elevate their creative expression while enjoying the process. \nLearning Outcomes: \n\nDevelop an understanding of how expressive brushstrokes convey tone\, emotion\, and visual narrative within a painting\nApply key design principles—balance\, unity\, movement\, rhythm\, contrast\, and focal point—to support a cohesive artwork\nBuild a versatile repertoire of brushstrokes through guided practice\, demonstrations\, and individualized feedback\n\nAbout the Artist/Instructor: \nAndrew Sookrah is an instructor and artist\, a raw colourist whose free brushwork is confident and powerful. His strengths can be seen in his strong sense of design\, exquisite use of effective composition\, confident presentation of bold colours… and in his figurative and portraiture work\, his capturing the essence of the human spirit. He masterfully interprets and expresses the unity of nature and cohesion in built environments. \nAndrew has taught many workshops at Barrie Art Club\, and is much sought after as an instructor for arts organizations such as the McMichael Canadian Art Collection Gallery in Kleinberg.  See more information about Andrew’s extensive repertoire of teaching and artistic accomplishments in the link for his workshop outline. \nMaterial List: \nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/96846053/4113953 \n\nPhotos: \nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/Sys/PublicProfile/96846053/PhotoAlbums/61090 \nRegistration: \nhttps://barrieartclub.wildapricot.org/event-6625025
