Workshops! All the info.

I'm so looking forward to offering some new workshops this summer. Please find all the information below. If you're interested and have any questions please don't hesitate to drop me a line. I thought we'd start with Altered Books and Monoprint, two of my absolute favourite things! I hope you can make it.

These are one-day workshops, but I'm also hoping to set up a regular class where we'd cover all sorts of art/design/textile subjects, maybe once or twice a month on Wednesdays in Worfield, Shropshire. If that'd also be of interest please let me know!

Altered Books
9th July 2014

10am-4pm, Worfield Village Hall, Worfield, Bridgnorth, Shropshire
A one-day introduction to the exciting process of creating altered books.

Transform an old, un-loved book into a work of art! Starting with the basics of preparing pages we'll explore some of the best tactics and techniques for book altering. You'll be led by your chosen book, modifying the original structure with cutting and additions before customising the pages with mixed media, paint, print and collage. Liberating, experimental and highly addictive, what more can I say! During the class there will be ample opportunity to study examples of altered books and gather ideas to take home.

The detail:

Workshop fee: £75 to include all art materials.

Level: This class is suitable for beginners and those with more experience. I'll guide you through all of the techniques step-by-step.

Materials: I'll send you a brief requirements list, but all art materials will be provided.

Important Stuff: Tea, coffee, cold drinks and homemade biscuits will be provided. You'll need to bring a packed lunch.

Monoprint
23rd July 2014

10am-4pm, Worfield Village Hall, Worfield, Bridgnorth, Shropshire

A one-day introduction to monoprint techniques for paper and fabric

Got a Gelli plate and want to come play? Discover the wonderful immediacy of monoprint. We'll experiment with a range of approaches working on both paper and fabric to build a collection of materials. As well as the basic skills of monoprint we'll explore scale, mark making and neat ideas for combining monoprint with stencilling. During the class we'll chat about the potential of the prints created and how they might be taken further at home. Oh, and don't worry if you don't have a Gelli Plate I'll be providing simple plastic alternatives that'll work just as well.
