Printing with Plants
In this three hour workshop you will experiment with the printmaking capabilities of a gel plate.
This is a wonderful way to make realistic prints of soft botanicals and it also lends itself to very free mark making expression. This workshop is especially suitable for anyone who enjoys working quickly and intuitively. I really enjoy working with people who want to move foward by observing and experimenting in new and unexpected ways. 3 Hour Workshop including materials £80 |
South Downs re(treat)
a one day studio immersive experience
Suitable for experienced creatives looking for a Studio Retreat. Included are two work benches and plenty of room to hang work in progress and really dig deep into your practice in a warm and supportive environment.
The studio is based at The Turner Dumbrell Workshops in the beautiful village of Ditchling in East Sussex. There are gorgeous walks right from the door with views over The South Downs. Ditchling has a long history with artists and makers, check out the Ditchling Museum and Turner Dumbrell websites.
The studio is suitable for two people and this is a great opportunity to spend time with a fellow artist friend!
Seawhite paints are included as well as various mark making tools and equipment, including gel plates for printmaking which I am happy to demonstrate. I provide a welcome pack of paper but please bring any canvas, panels or specialty papers you may wish to work on.
Mornings begin with mark making exercises in reference to the South Downs using ink and dip pens, graphite and pencil. From here we explore colour and experiment with different tools and applications of paint. I will show examples of my work and process and you are then free to make concertina booklets, smaller studies on paper or push these ideas further with your own projects. By the end of the day you will have a small body of work and ideas to develop further.
There is something deeply restorative about giving yourself the space and time to develop a single idea and this can have long reaching benefits.
The retreat is £120 per person which also includes hot drinks, pastries and cake. Lunch is available at local coffee shops and pubs in the Village just a 5 min walk or you can bring your own.
The price for two friends sharing the day is £200
The Studio is available from 10 until 4 pm, and just to let you know it is a former Hayloft and there are stairs.
