Absolutely wonderful day with Annette learning all about linocutting!
I had bought a kit and done a bit of experimenting myself but there's nothing that compares to sitting down with an artist and learning from their decades of experience. Annette is a fantastic teacher and really took the time to understand what I wanted to work on and the areas where I wanted to develop my skills.
We had a great day focusing both on techniques and the all important lessons in how to get a good print when you've finished with the carving. I was able to make four small blocks for repeat printing on wrapping paper, and one larger block of a butterfly which we worked on for single prints.
I loved being able to try different techniques like multi-layer prints which I wouldn't have come across otherwise, they came out really well!
It was great to use her printing press which of course gives much better results than hand-pressing.
Definitely recommend the course, Annette's knowledge is vast and she's incredibly helpful in pointing you towards tools, equipment and resources to ensure you can keep on printing when you get home!
What an incredible course, in the most glorious setting! Highly recommended. I created the most beautiful woven wreath and feel those skills are something that I will use again and again. A craft that’s tactile and allows you to loose yourself in nature. Marianne was an incredible guide, who taught us the skills as we worked. There was no lost practice time from the moment we walked in to the moment we left with our treasured wreaths.
Thoroughly enjoyable day - painting with the talented, wonderfully funny Liz Chaderton - in the beautiful setting of Micklems Farm.
Extremely good value for money, given all supplies are included.
Liz provides perfectly placed tutorials and demonstrations throughout the day, and ensures everyone is comfortable and gets the support they need.
The subject matter for this watercolours course was cats and dogs, which was simply lovely to work on. Liz brings plenty of inspiration for those who don't have pets themselves.
I just loved this course. It was a privilege to spend time with Liz and learn the art of watercolours!
