Workshops

Learn, Create, Connect

Each year, we run a variety of weekend workshops led by experienced artists and tutors.  These sessions cater to all ability levels, offering opportunities to develop skills, experiment with new techniques, and gain fresh inspiration.

Past workshops have included watercolour, expressive landscape painting, mixed media, collage and more.  Whether you’re looking to refine your craft or simply try something new, our workshops are friendly, supportive, and open to everyone.

Art Tutors

The Central Otago Art Society is always looking to connect with talented, friendly artists who enjoy sharing their skills with the community.  If you’re interested in teaching a workshop with us, or if you’d simply like to chat about possibilities, we’d be delighted to hear from you.  We welcome new ideas, new mediums, and new ways of inspiring creativity in our community.  Please get in touch by emailing the COAS Workshop Coordinator at CentralOtagoArtSociety@gmail.com
