Description

Next promoted workshop: Tuesday 30th January 2024 Spending time on a creative task is both a pleasure and a joy. It allows us to stop and take time out of our busy lives. It calms and relaxes us and provides opportunities to refocus; creativity engages our imagination and stimulates us. However, not everyone knows how to get a creative task underway, and it can be difficult not knowing where to start or even what to create, so why not join us for a creative boost? We will explain and demonstrate how to make lively marks on different papers, draw from observation and imagination and learn how to select and simplify images and designs. You will also draw with scissors and explore composition. We will explore flowers, plants and foliage displayed in a range of pots, vases and jugs in a light and playful way. The workshop will be delivered by Alison Butler and Liz Wellby; Alison has over 25 years of experience as a textile designer and book illustrator and loves to explore colour in her work. Liz is an experienced artist, teacher and maker, with a particular interest in print. The workshop will be held in The Stables or the adjacent thatched Long Barn, depending on the numbers of people attending. Both are inspirational spaces on a working farm in The South Downs National Park.

What's included in the price?

The workshop will run from 10 - 4 pm, with places limited to 5 or 10, including: tuition, materials and use of equipment, with refreshments served throughout the day; just bring your lunch.

"Alison and Liz were lovely enthusiastic and talented teachers and the long barn is a beautiful venue. I enjoyed the way the workshop gradually built through different techniques to achieve the finished piece. I learnt a lot and left feeling inspired "

"Hi Jane, It was lovely to meet you and work with you and thank you for letting us know about your time with us. The processes we used have lots of potential for development and exploration and should provide you with lots of ideas to continue working at home. A workshop is a great stepping off point, so hopefully it's all go and you are drawing, printing and cutting with gusto! Happy making. Alison & Liz "

Jane Ogden-Swift reviewed: Explore drawing, print and collage

"This course was extremely well thought out and well paced. A number of different techniques were demonstrated each followed by a period of time for us to play, explore and practise. It felt as though a lot of ground was covered but we were never rushed. I felt stretched and challenged but never abandoned or taken over. A great day with 2 very experienced and nice tutors."

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Hi Jane, Lovely to hear from you and thank you for telling us about your time with us - it’s much appreciated. It was good fun working with you, seeing you relax into the day and enjoying the new approaches and ideas. There’s lots of potential for the development of surface pattern and texture on your ceramic work, so we’d love to see the outcomes in the future. Happy mark making. Best wishes Alison & Liz These processes and have lots of potential for your creative practice, so we hope you "

Blooming Designs - Art in the Barn responded:

"Hi Liz, Lovely to hear from and thanks for letting us know about your day with us. There’s always a little trepidation with a new workshop, so we were really pleased with how the workshop ran and everyone’s responses. We think there’s lots of potential with these techniques for your work and we’d love to see the results in one of your gorgeous sketchbooks. Best wishes Alison & Liz "
