Sea Themes Workshop
Sea Themes
A course for the more advanced student working with workbooks, sketches and drawings, found objects and photographs. A fun course looking at working from a theme and creating from that theme in a realistic or abstract way, in two or three dimensions. The first day is spent visiting the local ports and seaside for drawing, photography and collecting bits and pieces, information and inspiration, with lunch in a seaside restaurant. The next four days in the studio will see you working from this collection to establish a means of representing the theme through textile and mixed media.
There will be surprise visits throughout the week to keep the questioning and ideas flowing. These visits are outside normal studio times.
The learning process will be about how to explore a theme, pull something personal from it, and interpret that into textiles. By the end of the week you should have some idea where your superb ideas book could be leading.......
