About Open Studios
Open Studios are self-directed, uninstructed three-hour sessions that provide a space for artists to try working in a communal studio.

The Leeway Studio will host a collaborative drawing workshop with Vancouver paper artist Rachael Ashe as part of Draw Down Vancouver. Rachael will be facilitating the workshop with guest artist Christina Norberg. Together, along with Vancouver Draw Down participants, they will create a large scale drawing using intricate marks and gestures to see how working small, and working as a group can create something substantial. Participants will use a variety of mark-making materials  and experience working collaboratively in a communal studio.

Rachael Ashe, paper-cutting artist and latest recipient of The Leeway Studio Residency, will be hosting an open studio on Saturday, June 6. Join us to hear about Rachael's work, to tour The Leeway studio space and meet fellow artists and art enthusiasists.

The event is free and open to the public. No RSVP required.

This studio visit is hosted in conjunction with First Saturday Open Studios. You can read more about Rachael on The Leeway blog or learn more about studio residency at The Leeway.

Join Jenny Lee Craig and Caroline Ballhorn ('10) of Tin Can Studio in a series of explorations of collaboration and communication within the creative process. In this workshop you will work as part of a group with a variety of media and will move between the Leeway studio and the Tin Can Studio’s mobile project space.
