Workshops

A Cup of Joy is an engaging workshop created and led by artist Sally Russell. Sally has been a professional artist for over 30 years as well as an art educator. 

Her theory is that children are not taught drawing skills beyond the Fifth Grade level, hence grow into adults, believing they are unable to draw.

After having this realization, she made it a mission to ensure that her students learn basic drawing techniques which foster self esteem and confidence.


In this workshop you will create your own painting of a teacup and saucer. Sally will guide and teach you how to achieve value and dimension using acrylic paint. Each participant leaves with their own “cup- of- joy” canvas, filled with confidence and a renewed sense of creativity. 
This workshop is ideal for a group of friends wanting a fun and meaningful night out together or a corporate group looking for team bonding and an engaging experience.
