Class Description

Join internationally respected surface artists Sandra Gonzales and Audra Lynch for an immersive 3-day workshop exploring the art of decorative surface finishes, texture, colour and contemporary architectural treatments.

Travelling from the United States to teach at Mulranny Arts, Sandra and Audra bring decades of experience in decorative arts, architectural finishes and creative education. Their workshops are known for combining high-level technical instruction with an inspiring, welcoming and deeply creative atmosphere.

Designed for creatives, artists, interior enthusiasts and professionals alike, this hands-on workshop blends artistic expression with practical application.
