Learn more about our brand new workshop “How to Photograph Your Artwork with a Smartphone” and “Instagram for Artists”.

We had a lovely small group of local artists who came along and learnt how to photograph their work. We did lots of idea swapping, and generally had a nice time…

To celebrate the launch of TREESTORIES one of our upcoming exhibitions, Ingrid Bowen is teaching a brand new workshop over the weekend of December 7th and 8th. There are 2 sessions available, either Saturday December 7th from 1-4pm OR Sunday December 8th from 10am-1pm.

Recently we held our first Abstract Watercolour Workshops here at The Corner Store Gallery. A small group of students were taught the basics of watercolour and created their own abstract artworks. We made colour charts, colour swatches to inform our final works, practised different blending techniques, mark-making and some other experimental exercises.

In the week leading up to Christmas we held a number of Native Wreath Workshops. They were such a fantastic success and the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I was so impressed with everyone’s finished products I thought I’d share them all here.

Plan your next birthday, Bridal Shower or Baby Shower at The Corner Store Gallery for a truly beautiful and unique experience.  The gallery provides a bright and intimate space for you and your girlfriends to celebrate your special occasion.  Madi can host you in the beautiful gallery space or she'll come to you at home or elsewhere.  Flower Crowns are our most popular project with your choice of fresh or faux flowers.  These photographs were taken at one of our most recent Bridal Showers in the gallery space.

This morning I attended one of the Small Worlds Watercolour Workshops with one of our favourite exhibiting artists Ingrid Bowen.  Ingrid just finished up a week long residency here at The Corner Store Gallery as part of our special Artist Run Gallery Program. The gallery served as a working studio for Ingrid all week long as well as a workshop and exhibition space.  Students were instructed to create a painting exploring the theme of "small worlds", something Ingrid does on a regular basis. If you're not familiar with her work have a look at one of our previous exhibitions here.
