For Adults

Courses are offered by professional artists active in their practice, and provide the ideal conditions to allow students to discover or strengthen techniques in the medium of their choice — drawing, painting, watercolour, collage, textile, ceramic (handbuilding and wheel throwing), jewellery and more. Courses range from introductory to increasingly advanced levels. As well, workshops offer students the opportunity to explore new mediums or innovative techniques in a collaborative and focused atmosphere.

Portfolio Mentorship and Development

We offer individual sessions to help you develop a portfolio, a portfolio application or to help you find a direction in your artistic process. These meetings last an hour and a half with one of our teachers. You'll discuss your goals with a professional artist, receive feedback and assemble a coherent body of work.
