I will be teaching a few workshops in the next months… here are some details, with dates.
I also teach 1:1 if artists/students feel an intensive private session would suit them better.
St. Ives School of Painting July 8th – 11th, working with Dreamscapes and Memories, drawing with the breath, with music, shamanic walking, monotype; tuning into body memory and sensitively drawing it out in a supportive and focused environment.
Cornwall College, Camborne, 15th – 18th July,
Working with a range of musical sources including classical, sacred and ‘world’ music participants will make drawings, monotypes and possibly paintings as responses. Students will be taken through steps to enable them to respond with fluidity and confidence.
Poetry from a range of inspirational sources with a focus on the natural world will be used as starting points for discussion and drawing. An open-ended approach is encouraged where students will have fun combining music, text and drawing to make exciting new works. Suitable for beginners keen to learn, intermediate and more advanced students.
Newlyn School of Art August 18 – 20th, Drawing Methods, Materials and Meanings, considering how and why we draw, looking at the wide and varied roots of drawings, learning about supports such as panel and paper and preparing them with gesso which we will make and work with. We work in the beautiful restored school buildings/studios.
