Dip into your creative side and discover new techniques in a workshop experience that has a perfect blend of fun & learning. This is a really special activity for you to escape into on a sunday afternoon.

Learn from an experienced local artist Ula Fung who has over 16 years of teaching experience, she'll teach you how to paint using hard to find traditional materials like bamboo brushes, sumi ink, Gansai Tambi 顔彩耽美 (Traditional Japanese colours), Mineral Paints & gold leaf onto Golden Rice Paper boards.

There's a lot of gold colour involved in our regular Japanese Painting Workshops but for this workshop we'll be using just that little bit more we'll be using gold colours rice paper boards and golden pigments and inks. We will bring along a selection of relevant seasonal references from the different Japanese art movements such as Ukiyo-e, Rinpa School as well as some Japanese contemporary artists. Each and every workshop of ours is different. We choose a variety of seasonal topics from the world of Japanese Art.

This painting class is suitable for beginners as well as those with a little more artistic experience, so don't worry if it's your first time. Your teacher will be on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions.

At the end of your art class, you'll get the chance to stand back and admire your days work. You'll head home with your piece and a new skill that's perfect to practice whenever you're looking to clear your head.

This workshop is located at Duke Street Food & Drink Market which is an award winning foodmarket located at the heart of Liverpool city centre. Food & Drink will be available to purchase on the day.
