The Public House – Spring Course Wednesdays
Creating Colourful Art
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.
This 10-week course is based on using familiar mediums but in slightly different ways. Sometimes we will spend more than one week exploring the possibilities of a medium. This gives us time to complete work in a more relaxed way. At other times one week will be sufficient to give us a taste of a medium and an opportunity to experiment with some new techniques.
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 £4.00 contribution towards refreshments is requested for the whole course. There will also be an additional fee for a stretched canvass for week 1 & 2 dependent on size of canvass or students can source their own.
