Unlock your creativity with watercolour and quilting workshops!
Creativity takes centre stage this July, with the Lockyer Valley Art Gallery hosting two hands-on workshops.
The Art of Line and Wash Watercolour Workshop is set for Saturday 11 July, where Sharon Ross will present a beginner-friendly watercolour workshop.
Council’s Libraries and Galleries Portfolio Councillor Julie Reck said this workshop was a wonderful introduction to the world of watercolour painting.
“Line and wash is a beautiful technique where you start with pen or ink drawing, then layer watercolour washes over the top.
“Best of all, perfection is not the goal – it’s all about embracing a loose, expressive style.
“By the end of the workshop, you’ll create your own finished artwork using line and wash techniques.
“This is a lovely opportunity to nurture your creativity, develop new skills, and perhaps discover a relaxing new hobby,” Cr Reck said.
All materials supplied. Tea and coffee available.
- WHEN: Saturday 11 July
- TIME: 10am – 1pm

Later this month, the Gallery will host an Aussie Quick Quilt Workshop, supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF).
“Both men and women are invited to come along to give something new a try, connect and share a few laughs, and leave feeling accomplished!” she said.
Participants are required to bring their own serviced sewing machine. The workshop cost includes a quilt kit (100 per cent cotton quilter’s fabric for top, batting and backing), all tuition and instructions. Participants get to take their quilts home, which will be 54” x 68” (depending on their sewing).
