Analog Art Club: Slow Water Drawing Workshops

Friday 1 August 2025 - Saturday 7 March 2026

Analog Art Club
Inspiration, without interruption.  

Analog Art Club is a statewide initiative that invites Victorians to slow down, switch off their screens and connect in real life — through art. Hosted by galleries across Victoria, these phone-free events offer a welcoming space to reflect, discuss and experience art together, making creativity social, accessible and refreshingly analog. 

This program encourages deeper connection with both art and community by fostering genuine, screen-free engagement in a relaxed and inclusive environment. 

As part of the Analog Art Club, join us on a series of extended drawing workshops inspired by the Country, landscape and the surrounds of Tarrawarra Museum of Art and centred on the theme of slow-moving water led by an accomplished TWMA artist educator. The intimate drawing sessions will begin with mindfulness exercises designed to help connect with the present moment, fellow participants and the natural surroundings. Participants will focus on creating a sustained drawing of a single subject, working outside in the grounds of TWMA and within its premises. Throughout the workshops, you will receive group and one-on-one guidance on techniques and processes developed around considered observation and with participants encouraged to disconnect from their mobile devices.


Join us on Friday, 5 September from 2-4pm for our next Analog Art Club and be inspired by the slow-moving waters at TarraWarra Museum of Art.

Led by practising artist and senior educationalist Sarah Metzner alongside curator James Lynch, spend two peaceful hours using mindfulness meditation being inspired by the waters of the Ornamental lake. Followed by a watercolour workshop considering creative responses that connect deep emotions with colour. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to reconnect with your creative side, Analog Art Club offers the perfect opportunity to switch off, slow down, observe closely, and let nature guide your brush. You’ll leave with a beautiful artwork in hand and a renewed sense of connection. Places are strictly limited and all materials supplied.

First Friday of the month at 2 – 4.00pm
