Glenda will present a different drawing-based activity for each session, for example:
  • Still life setups with challenges and prompts
  • Different drawing approaches including gestural, drawing the negative spaces, loosening up etc
  • Imaginative abstraction of the literal
  • Playing with both dry and wet media
  • Developing content within simple book structures
The sessions will explore a variety of themes including urban, nature, domestic and found objects.

Glenda is a Brisbane based printmaker, papermaker and maker of artist’s books. She has many years of art teaching experience, both in schools and for adults. Her art practice usually involves the places where we set up home; houses, gardens, or the natural world outside our back doors. She likes to explore lagoons and creeks and the trees, plants and creatures there, weeds and bugs included, making drawings, prints and paper that reflect her interest in what grows and lives in wilder urban spaces.

The studio was founded by artist Sandra Pearce in 2021, and specialises in printmaking, papermaking, drawing, sketching and artist books. We offer workshops, courses, social art days, and artist talk events.
Our mission is to build an inclusive art community that nurtures creative authenticity, confidence and resilience. We also believe in the power of art to break the cycle of disaffection towards nature, to enrich lives and inspire care for the environment.
