Watercolour painting with Chiara at Lerverk Gallery
I invite you to spend three hours together painting with watercolours, surrounded and inspired by the Lerverk Gallery's art pieces. You can choose from a series of workshops to learn different techniques in watercolour. Materials are included.
There will be a fika moment to chat a bit and find out more about the history of Lerverk Gallery, its artists and the historic Kronhuset complex in which it is located, where more local artists have their workshops and where there is also a cosy café.
Lerverk Gallery is one of the most beautiful galleries in Gothenburg, where more than 30 local artists exhibit and sell their works in ceramic, glass and silver. There are also two exhibitions of invited artists every month. To visit the gallery on your own you can check the opening hours on the website lerverk.com.

Who this is for
For all art lovers curious to know new artists and meet other people to spend time together learning watercolour painting techniques. There are lessons designed for both beginners and those with more experience, such as watercolour on stone paper, a little-known technique that can also interest those who are already familiar with watercolour technique.
When?
We can meet on Saturdays from 4.30pm and on Sundays at any time.
Where?
Lerverk Gallery is in Gothenburg city centre, in the beautiful historic courtyard of Kronhuset, which is one of Gothenburg’s oldest secular buildings from 1642. It is easy to reach with the many trams and buses that stop at Brunnsparken. Walking from the central station it is only 800m.
Price
400kr per person or 300kr per person for a group of more than 2 people. Materials included.
Languages Spoken
Italian is my native language, Spanish is the language I studied in at university and I have a B2 in English. I'm currently studying Swedish.
Tips from Locals
Chiara’s tips when you visit Gothenburg:
- Bar Italia, Prinsgatan 7, where you can taste genuine Italian sweets and very good coffee.
- Jonsered Fabriker (Jonsered Factories) where you can walk in nature with lakes and find tasty coffee, restaurants, a brewery, a garden, art and handicraft in an interesting industrial environment from the second half of the 19th century.
- Visiting the cosy, dynamic and living neighborhood at Lindholmen with street food, closeness to nice walks along the northern riverbank and where among many other things you also find Aftonstjärnan, a cozy and intimate Theater/Cinema housed in a traditional Gothenburg building.
