ART COURSES
Verkets Senior Studio is starting a new semester for creative seniors!
(Note: new time for this semester).
You can pay in cash or with Swish.
Warm welcome!
Occasion 1: Imaginative watercolor illustrations
During the first few sessions of the semester, we create abstract images with watercolors, where we then use our imagination to find different figures and patterns. The details of the figures are enhanced with thin pencils.
Cost: SEK 50. Includes materials and coffee.
Occasion 2: Textile collages
Collage is a technique where different objects and materials are often put together. On this occasion of the Senior-Ateljén we try working with collage, where we cut apart different textile materials and glue them together to create works of art!
Cost: SEK 50. Includes materials and coffee.
What can a hybrid be and represent? We are testing creating artworks where the intersection of several different things is then mixed into one. We interpret the theme with different selected materials to choose from.
Opportunity 5: Sculpt more!
Today we are working with sculpture: three-dimensional works of art that can be both representational or abstract!
Many artists draw inspiration from dreams. Today we create artwork based on our own dreams: Something you dreamed last night? Maybe a nightmare? Or a dream of the future? We bring out different materials to choose from, as you interpret today's theme!
Today we create our own embroidery – but without just using the classic stitches! Dare to take the plunge and invent your own stitches, add appliqués, watercolor or sequins to your textile work… Embroidery is free!
Price: SEK 50. Materials and coffee included.
Occasion 8: Contrast – pleasant unpleasant
What arouses discomfort and pleasure when we look at art? Both materials and motifs can affect us as viewers so differently, in different contexts. Today we are testing creating our own works with materials and motifs that clash in what is experienced as pleasant/unpleasant.
Price: SEK 50. Materials and coffee included.
We take a closer look at the Work and draw the unique environment with charcoal and pastel crayons: focusing on both the big picture and detail, darkness and light.
NOTE! We will meet outside the (regular) entrance in the alley at 2:00 PM, and start outdoors (weather permitting, otherwise we will be held elsewhere in Verket for the first part of today's workshop).
Price: SEK 50. Materials and coffee included.
Last Senior Studio for this semester! We end the semester by capturing ourselves in a self-portrait. We pick out different materials to choose from when you create your artwork!

Course start spring 2025
Are you between 7 and 12 years old, interested in art and enjoy creating? Then Art Kids could be your thing! At our meetings we are inspired by different artists and their works while everyone in the group gets to unleash their own creativity.
We test different materials and techniques, which gives us the chance to find new, challenging ways of expression but also the opportunity to develop things that feel safe and familiar.
