​A playful and freeing course for people who want to tap into their creativity that may have been buried since childhood. For people who think they can't draw and who do not think they are artistic but have a feeling they would like to try!
Week 1 - Line drawing 
This class will focus on line drawing exercises which are  about learning to look and letting your hand follow your eye rather than the other way round and not worrying about the outcome.
Week 2 - Collage using line drawings
In this class you will create dynamic collage designs with magazines working directly from the line drawings you made in the first week
Week 3 - Collage - Interpretation of a famous painting
Using magazines and tissue paper you will create a collage  interpretation  from a famous landscape painting.
Week 4 - Brush and Ink Drawing
You will explore Chinese brush and ink drawing techniques and be inspired the shapes and forms of leaves and plants
​Week 5 - Simple printing techniques
You will explore simple print making techniques
Week 6 - Freeform
You will be able to finish any work that you would like to develop more or any technique that you would like to explore more.
The course is for a small group of people and is an opportunity to explore your inner creativity in a supportive and friendly environment. You'll be surrounded by fellow students who are all tapping into something they thought might be buried. That shared energy is powerful – it gives you permission to try things, and discover that creativity is still there, waiting for you.
By the end, you won't just have a collection of artwork to take home. You'll have rekindled something inside yourself – the spark of confidence that comes from putting your hand to paper and discovering what you're capable of.

The Garden Studio
The Garden Studio

5.0 (19)
female Women-owned

The purpose of the Garden Studio workshops is to invite people into my Garden Studio to share the skills that I have developed working in a wide range of materials as a designer and maker for 30 years in the theatre, creating sets, props, and puppets. Most of my work has involved making something that I have not made before, so there has been an element of learning in every project that I have done. I strongly believe in having a go, experimenting, and learning from your mistakes.
Over the past 20 years, I have run workshops in both 2D and 3D art forms for diverse groups, including BTEC and university students, older people, autistic groups, teenagers, and children, and approach teaching with a light touch and like to encourage people's latent creativity. I enjoy the practical aspect of showing people how to use tools and working with materials that they might not have worked with before.
In recent years, I have been developing my own work as an artist - in particular drawing, collage, and creating sculptures out of found wood and stone carving.
The classes will also be supported by my partner, who is a highly experienced sculptor who works in wax and clay and carves in stone, creating naturalistic and abstracted figures.
The workshops I run are a chance to take time out of the fast pace of modern life and allow yourself to develop the creativity which exists in us all. They are an opportunity to use your eyes, hands, and physically engage with the materials you are using in ways that are mindful, absorbing, and playful.
And in between moments of quiet concentrated activity, there will be chats and laughs and tea and lunch - an opportunity to get to know people in an unpressured way. And if the weather is nice, we can sit in the garden for tea!
