Dear Diary Workshop - Adults

Next date: Saturday, 31 January 2026 | 05:30 PM to 07:30 PM

Hosted by visual artist and teacher, Shanay Manitzky, in the heart of the Dear Diary exhibition. This hands-on workshop blends contemporary and impressionist art techniques with storytelling, colour, and a little disco magic.

You’ll learn how to apply basic acrylic painting techniques to create your very own disco ball artwork on a 30 × 30 cm canvas (framed).

This guided session explores colour, light, and reflection while allowing you to express your own creative voice.

The workshop is relaxed, beginner-friendly, and designed for pure fun, whether you’re looking for a creative night out or a playful way to unwind.

What’s included:
• 2-hour guided workshop
• All art materials provided
• A completed artwork to take home (framed canvas)
• A glass of Bubbly (or juice) and a grazing board upon arrival
