Student Testimonials
“Sharon Kirsh is a talented artist and instructor. Her classes are fun, challenging and well worth your time. Sharon will push you past your comfort level and provide constructive feedback as you explore colour, composition, and technique.”
T. Sanders
“Sharon taught me about colour. She changed how I view the world around me. What colours should I not put beside each other? Which ones would totally rock? I use this not only in painting, but also in my pottery. Until I took her classes, I didn't know I had an artistic bone in my body. But suddenly, I was sketching. And painting! Paintings that I hung up and displayed in my home. Teaching me how to use acrylic paints, various workshops, and the beauty of oil and cold wax have made me so much more than I was. Her humour, intelligence and talent make her one of the best instructors I have known.”

A unique opportunity to play and experiment and immerse yourself in a creative retreat with likeminded creative people.

This class will introduce you to new techniques, new ways of working as well as tools for evaluating your own work. This is an opportunity to nurture your creativity, make new friends and expand your creative horizons. 4 days will allow you to work through and gain support at various stages of your artistic process. Working on multiple pieces, investigating a range of approaches will expand the limits of your creativity!
