WORKSHOPS & MENTORING

Linen Garden Studio Drawing Gathering - Group of 5


http://www.thelinengarden.co.uk/collections/mentoring-workshops/products/linen-garden-studio-drawing-gathering-group-of-5

I currently teach drawing to design practitioners, enthusiasts and also to students at degree level ~ this is an avenue of my professional path for the last 25 years and still find it one of the most rewarding practises to study and deliver in a workshop form.

This workshop is an indulgent day of drawing and mark making based on seasonal collections of natural forms and florals.  This set fee of £300 is for a maximum booking of 5 people here in

The Linen Garden Studio.

We will look at constructing a small composition/styled set using a mix of found and painted papers, ephemera and natural forms.  If you are a user of social media there will be opportunities at this point to experiment with imagery for your Instagram feed as well as documentary style imagery for your blog 'visual making'.


We will then continue, using a varied selection of media and mark m
aking and drawing tools, to transfer our composition using a wonderful collection of explorative, hand rendered techniques, to produce a series of small studies approx. 40cm x 40cm..

This workshop is for both new investigators to the avenue of drawing as well as established mark makers.  It is also a perfect opportunity for those who just need to experience a new avenue of visual making or who just want to 'scratch a creative itch' .


You will need to bring a little packed lunch with you so we can have small short breaks but an abundance of tea and home~baked cake is provided.
Time Slot - FRIDAY'S 10.30am - 3.30pm.


Please email initially to secure a date in the studio diary before booking over in the store

Your booking is then confirmed once your purchase is made.

The price for this workshop is for the time and materials here in the studio.  Materials consist of drawing props, varied watercolour/printmaking/cartridge papers required, drawing materials and endless tea and cake.  So basically all you need to bring is yourself, your camera/phone, y

our packed lunch and conversation.
