We’ll work on design and composition as well as strategies for making bigger pieces work. Every day Kat will have some masterwork examples to inspire you, exercises to build your confidence – and plenty of discussion, feedback and laughter. 
​Take charge and make those big city streets your own!
I’d just like to say the format of your class is excellent. Productive manageable exercises, love the art history references, great involvement & feedback.

Landscapes:
​Real, Imagined & Altered
Mon. July 6 – Fri. July 10, 2026
(9:00am-4:30pm)
Who hasn’t rendered a landscape at some point in their art-making? Well-known or never-before-seen, real or imagined, fact or fiction – place has an endless capacity to speak to us as artists, captivating us to attempt to capture and express what it is that’s moving, intriguing, haunting us.
But this ain’t your conventional landscape course! Designed to get you moving past simply capturing the scene, this course begins with individual artistic field research in the beauty of the nearby Haliburton environment — honing your observational skills. Once back in the studio, you will be challenged to interpret and transform your findings in increasingly expressive and conceptual ways, expanding into guided but self-directed exploration of personal ideas. Some structure and support, lots of creative latitude!
Come explore some new artistic territory!

Collaging In Their Footsteps
Mon. July 27 – Fri. July 31, 2026
(9:00am-4:00pm)
A little survey course, a lot hands-on – this week will expose you to the work of two new collage artists each day. First we’ll break down what makes their work distinctly theirs, then we’ll take on aspects of each artist's oeuvre for ourselves to discover what lessons we can draw out for our own artistic journeys. It’s like studying in different collage artist’s studios each day!
With her trademark blend of inspiring masterwork examples, challenging and open-ended exercises, and plenty of discussion, feedback and laughter, Kat will get you seeing, thinking and making collage in exciting new ways – all within a collegial and supportive environment.

Collage: New Directions
Mon. July 13 – Fri. July 17, 2026
(9:00am-4:30pm)
We live in an image-saturated world: we see more images in one day than a medieval person saw in their lifetime. As artists, we process our outer (and inner) worlds and explore and invent new possibilities with what we find. Collage is the perfect contemporary medium: we can mine this rich world of images, colours, textures, patterns, ideas, aesthetics — reconfiguring, re-combining, and remixing our way into our own creative expressions!
Each day will begin with a short class exercise and include some inspiring masterwork examples by leading collage artists, and there will be a daily focus that you are free to engage with a little or a lot. Plenty of group discussion and one-on-one feedback will support you as you explore your own collage ideas and explorations. 
​It’s the perfect blend of inspiration, structure, support and freedom!
