FRIDAY 29TH JULY – EVENING INTRODUCTORY SESSION
SATURDAY 30TH JULY AND SUNDAY 31ST JULY 2016
HAWKWOOD COLLEGE, STOUD
During this weekend workshop participant will be encouraged to 'draw' in differentb ways. A series of exercises designed to explore observation, expression and reflection will involve experimental ways of making marks and developing surfaces. We will also consider collage and layering processes in relation to two- and three- dimensional compositions.
The sessions will offer possibilities for all levels with opportunities for individual exploration, alongside supportive mentoring and shared inspiration. Activities are designed to encourage participants to notice detail, challenge usual approaches, and be aware of their creative responses; developing the confidence to take risks with their ideas and nurture their own artistic voice.
30 April – 29 May 2016

With vessel forms and weathered wood and slate grounds, the work has a raw and simple materiality with layers of detail revealed or hidden as light and shadow pass across and through the surfaces.
There are several pieces by James and Tilla Waters, ceramicists who were apprenticed to the internationally acclaimed Rupert Spira.

The legendary John Maltby whose studio visits are an inspiration and an education - a sculptural ceramicist who recalls early meetings with Bernard Leach... and more....
