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.
