ANN HULME
DRAWING AND PAINTING Art is inspiring; to be able to render form, to give shape to ideas, to bring into existence the illusion of reality through painting and drawing seems like magic. Some part of it is magic, but the rest can be taught. The basic approach to it all, to seeing, is applying relative measurement, learning perspective, foreshortening and handling space, and this is what we shall be applying on these courses. Working with colour follows from basic drawing. Painting on these courses can be in watercolour, acrylics or oil paint . Remember it is all to enjoy. There are stages as in everything and you can make good progress in a short space of time if you apply the basic formal elements.
ANN SKEHEL
SILVER WORKSHOPS During the afternoons you will be working with sterling silver and learning basic techniques to create pieces of jewellery to your own design. Firstly you will design your piece of Jewellery, a simple ring, pendant, earrings or simple bangle. We will look at what you will need to make your Jewellery. Then you will learn how to manipulate your silver by cutting, bending, shaping and texturing. Some processes will require annealing, fusing and soldering. You can learn how to set a cabochon stone on a ring or pendant, and how to make your own findings from ear hooks to necklace clasps. There will be a lot of sanding to get rid of any marks before you will learn how to polish it to a high shine.
VAL WELHAM
CLAY DAYS Working from various sources; photographs, objects, nature, you will be encouraged to experiment with abstract forms as well as literal interpretations.
SARAH COOKE
WEAVING WITH WASTE Sarah has been weaving for more than 10 years, using a variety of looms and materials. Recently, as she becomes more aware of the environmental impact of producing, dyeing, and transporting new yarn, she has been experimenting using recycled yarn (from friends and charity shops), combined with unconventional materials, such as plastic packaging waste, cables, foam etc. Not only is this better for the planet, but these materials offer a whole new range of exciting textures and colours.
