About This Activity
Colorful Koi Two Day Workshop for ages 12+ Instructor: Shadia Derbyshire Saturday, October 3 AND Sunday, October 4 Time: 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM 2-day workshop: (M) $70 (NM) $77 Materials included Dive into the serene and shimmering world of koi fish in this vibrant, beginner-friendly mixed media workshop with artist Shadia Derbyshire. Over two creative days, you’ll explore the art of collage through the graceful forms and flowing movement of koi—symbols of perseverance, balance, and good fortune. We’ll begin with an acrylic underpainting to establish color and motion beneath the surface, then build layers of patterned, textured, and translucent papers to capture the depth and rhythm of koi gliding through water. Shadia will guide you step by step as you experiment with color harmony, paper layering, and composition to bring your koi to life in a luminous, modern style. This workshop is perfect for all skill levels—no prior art experience required! Our focus will be on collage and layering techniques rather than traditional drawing or painting. By the end, you’ll have a stunning, ready-to-hang koi collage that reflects both your creativity and the tranquil energy of these beautiful fish.
