There will be paintings by Ivinnie Brown, Isabella Brandli and Sharon Ingersole, covering various mediums including pen and wash, watercolours, acrylic and mixed media.
Papercraft art, which includes journals, friendship verses, bookmarks and cards, as well as porcelain painting, stained glass suncatchers, and various knitted and crochet items, are just a few of the items on display by the other three artists, Marion Crear, Maxine Kohlhagen and Yvonne Smith.
The demonstrations are from 13-19 April between 9.30am and 3pm.
They kick-off at 1pm this Sunday, when Marion Crear will show she goes about making her art journals, and displays her different styles of work.
Yvonne Smith will demonstrate Neurographic Art on Monday from 10.30am.
It is an artform that suits beginners and non-artists, working with paper and pens to create a state of mindfulness and peace without having too much structure or the ability to draw.
Ivinnie Brown will demonstrate pen and wash practices on Tuesday and pastels on Thursday from 10.30am.
The artists will rotate during the course of the exhibition.
