Art: Summer Creations – Mixed Media (Weds)
The Public House – Summer Course Wednesday 10thApril 2024
(Miss 22nd, 29th May & 5th June due tutor commitments)
Summer Creations – mixed mediums.
This 10-week course is based on using familiar mediums but in slightly different ways. Sometimes we will spend two weeks working with one medium, allowing us time to complete work in a more relaxed way and develop techniques whilst improving our understanding of what is achievable with each. Other times we will have one week exploring a medium and experimenting with new techniques.
This course would follow on as an extension to previous attendees to Cora’s courses but also suits new students wishing to ‘have a go’ with some art materials in a fun and relaxed environment.
Fees include use of all basic art materials. Please bring along an A3 sketchpad, we won’t use this all the time, but it is a useful place to store all your work in.
A £3.00 contribution towards refreshments is requested. There will also be an additional fee for a stretched canvass for week 5, 6 & 7 dependent on size of canvass or students can source their own.
