WORKSHOPS
2024
All the workshops below take place in Prince Albert, a semi-desert Karoo town at the foot of the Swartberg Mountain Pass, a Unesco World Heritage site.
The workshops are grounded in Prince Albert's compelling biodiversity, unique rock formations and local culture.
The workshop fees include all materials, morning refreshments and a welcome dinner.
28th MARCH – 1st APRIL*
CRUX
This workshop takes it's name from the Southern Cross constellation, otherwise known as Crux. Taking four traditional genres of art history as compass points – still life, landscape, portraits and self-portraits – this four day workshop is both grounding and expansive.
The course offers an opportunity to get your bearings by opening space to think about how you connect to your familiar surroundings and your greater environment; to those around you and to yourself.

HEART of STONE
14th - 17th JUNE
In this midwinter workshop we'll explore stone through myth, science, and art to unravel everything we think we know about our geological kinfolk. We'll work under the wide winter skies of the Karoo and by the cozy hearth of the studio.

PROFESSOR SPROUT
A springtime workshop that explores what we can learn from observing nature. What can nature teach us about attention, time, history and ourselves?
We work with a variety of mediums and mindful drawing exercises that take inspiration from the natural environment, both in the studio and in the local landscape.
