What you'll do

Our regular Social Art Days are your opportunity to come along and work on your latest Paper Art project in the company of like-minded artists.

These sessions are a great motivational opportunity to resolve some UFOs (unfinished objects) that may be on your to-do list. You can also ask for feedback and advice from other artists in the group.

You can work on anything you like – it could be practising your sketching, playing with watercolours, gelli printing, printmaking, collage, making books etc.

For inspiration, we have an extensive natural history collection including found objects like seed pods and birds’ nests as well as pinned insect collections.

You can also access our extensive library resources – a bookcase full of artistic inspiration and instructions for all sorts of paper art techniques.

If you have printmaking experience, you can access our printmaking equipment including the etching presses and our vacuum UV unit. No tuition is provided and to use the major equipment you must have had a studio induction.

This isn't a workshop or tutored class. But if you bring your own project, equipment and have basic skills, we're sure someone in the group will be able to give you advice on any art-related issues you may have!

The cost of the sessions depends on your needs:

BYO Project - You bring your own tools and supplies
Print - BYO inks – You supply your own papers, plates, disposable gloves, and inks.
Print - use Studio inks and consumables – You supply your own papers and plates, but you can use our inks. We have Akua soy-based inks and Caligo Safe-Wash Oil based ink. We supply consumables like gloves, paper towel, detergents etc.

If you don’t have any printmaking paper or watercolour paper, you can purchase some at the studio for $10 per sheet, please bring cash.

Every Social Art Day session runs from 9.30am to 2.30pm, but you can come and go as you like to suit your day.

Women-owned

Art from the Urban Wilderness is a large community art studio located at Hive Studios in Banyo, northside Brisbane/Meanjin.

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.

Our studio is also available for hire for creative events, meetings, gatherings, and art workshops.
