Art Classes

The entrance to Andriana’s home and gallery

UPDATE 2022

Andriana is currently considering other options of bringing her art classes to you … either as single classes similar to what has been done before, or as a series of classes for those that may wish to have more comprehensive tuition.

As soon as more information is available about this, we will let you know.

Here’s to an amazing year everyone … hopefully a little kinder than what the past two have been for some 🙂

ART CLASSES

Last year I was very excited to be collaborating with a very dear friend and highly talented artist Andriana Treasure.

Andriana is not only a beautiful person, but also a fabulous artist who uses colours and subjects in a way that energises and lifts the spirit.

For the classes Andriana and I combine our passions for art and food to provide an uplifting and enjoyable “time out” for others to meet, be creative, have some fun, and at the same time enjoy some delicious and wholesome food.

These are standalone classes held seasonally, and will be on a Saturday as we hope that gives people a better opportunity to attend.  Classes are held in Andriana’s home, which is also her gallery, situated in the vibrant city of Fremantle.

The classes run for four hours from 10am to 2pm, but if attendees wish to stay a touch longer to view Andriana’s art on display they are more than welcome to do that.  Materials are provided, and under Andriana’s guidance you will create your own artwork to take home with you.

Midway through the class we stop for a light lunch, and get a chance to spend a little relaxed time together.

We can take up to six people per class, but four is a perfect number.  Regardless of the number of bookings taken for each class, the classes will go ahead as planned … so if you need to make special arrangements to attend (i.e. organise a babysitter) you can do so with confidence knowing that the class will take place.

All-inclusive cost for the class is $95 per person.

Dates for 2020 are as follows:

  • Saturday, 29 February (done)
  • Saturday, 9 May (cancelled due to Covid)
  • Saturday, 15 August (done)

For more information on the art content of the class please call Andriana on 0408 088 544;  or to make a booking please call either Andriana on her mobile, or Gina on 0404 857 467.  Please note that payment is required at the time of booking to secure your place.

Entrance to Andriana’s home which is also her Gallery … here is the walkway through to …
… the lounge room …
Paintings are everywhere …

… on every wall …
… in the bathroom …
… with no space spared!

Andriana’s art studio where the classes are held …
… and a sample of some of her works
Andriana’s style is very broad and she paints all subjects …

… but I particularly love her works centred around the female form …
… such as this gorgeous “Mother and Child” oil painting (which I bought more than 20 years ago!) …
… and this beautiful piece.

Setting up for lunch in the kitchen …
… and a little “nibble” to go with the morning’s cuppa on arrival at the class …
… and a sample of the food offered for lunch … not too much to slow anyone down.

Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not a large cake (it’s baked in a 20cm round cake tin), but it is rich, dark and dense and a small slice is just perfect.

Here I have served it with a raspberry coulis as I had some in the fridge, and a dollop of fresh cream. But I have also offered a recipe for a “Coffee Cream” in the post to serve with the cake too.

This version is nut free (I have used toasted sunflower seeds), but you can also use almonds if nuts are not an issue in your home.

The cake is also dairy free, is very quick to make, and gives you eight serves similar to what you see in the post here:

Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … it is easy to make, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days.

I use a Thermomix to chop the carrots (it is quicker than trying to grate them), and I do like the chunky texture that gives me as opposed to “grating” which can sometimes make the carrot a little wet.

The dressing can be blended in a bowl if preferred, and the rest of the salad is prepared by hand so that I get plenty of texture.

This salad goes so well with just about any protein, and is a favourite in our home … with another hot spell fast approaching, this may be one that you would like to try:

Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its own and does not need icing, but I do try to minimise waste, so when I have little bits of leftover icing from other bakes (in this case Caramel Icing from a Sticky Date Cake I made a month ago, and White Chocolate Icing from the cupcakes I made last week) I put the leftovers into small containers in the freezer … then I can often combine two or three (in this case the two icings I mentioned) which will give me enough for what I need. So last night I took the two icings from the freezer and placed them in the fridge, then this morning I removed them from the fridge and put them on my bench to allow them to come to room temperature, they were then combined and used to dress this cake. It is such a great way to use us icing “scrapes”, and no-one else is the wiser 

Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing … requested for our number 2 son’s birthday today … these are so easy to make, and keep well for a few days at room temperature … but if it is really warm in your home (so that the icing may melt) then I would keep them in the fridge but remove them at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make things super easy for me, I decided to use up some chocolate leftovers from Christmas, so topped the cupcakes with a packet of mini Cherry Ripe’s (one of my favourite), and Nespresso Dark Chocolate tablets (they are super yummy too!) xo

Recipes for both can be found here:

Happy birthday dear Sam … love having you in our lives xo
