A Little Instruction
A course for mature artists looking to recultivate their interest and skills.
I am currently working with acrylics but I have no preference for the medium you wish to work with.
Encaustic Painting
A one day beginner’s workshop for a maximum of two people, inclusive of all materials.
You will learn how to prime, fuse, paint melted coloured wax and how to use tools to manipulate the wax surface.
You will come away with your very own encaustic artwork on cradled board, ready to hang at home.
Indoor Mosaic Class
16th and 17th November 2012. Learn the techniques of cutting and nipping tiles and other ceramic items to create several pieces of mosaic art. This art holiday will give you the basic skills to create wall panels and mirror frames in the class and give you the courage to extend your skills once at home
How to Mosaic your Garden - 5 day residential course
7th - 11th May 2012. During this course, you will learn more about the methods used to apply mosaic to a wider range of garden surfaces, such as walls and paths, tables and pots, and have the opportunity to tackle more ambitious projects
Outdoor Mosaic weekend
5th & 6th May 2013. A mosaic workshop focusing specifically on frost resistant outdoor mosaics, in anticipation of a glorious summer in the garden. This craft course uses such diverse materials as slate, plant pots and concrete along with stones, porcelain and glass to create stepping stones, bird baths or wall slates.
Exploring Spring Colour
This course will help you understand and explore the colour aspects of your watercolour painting. It is aimed to help balance technique and freedom in your work. The early spring garden at Ness is our main inspiration for developing your painting, composition and design skills but we will also look at other artists’ work for ideas.
Sketchbook Development
Sketchbook work can be the centre of a painter’s work, where ideas are tried out and worked on creatively. This course shows you how to create a highly personal sketchbook which will be a thing of beauty & inspiration in its own right!
