Our workshop

The shed for Saturday Drawing is getting to be very fine - full of useful collected toot and just the right side of messy.PhotobucketOld filing boxes full of letter stamps and spirograph. PhotobucketEvery kind of tape, staple or glue you could wish for. PhotobucketA fine array of plants, naturally. PhotobucketPegs and string up in the ceiling for hanging up any work you want to get a little perpsective on. PhotobucketSixties plastic doilies for printing with. PhotobucketInks, concoctions and bookbinding bits. PhotobucketNice old school chairs and a table from my great grandmother. PhotobucketAll sorts of wire.Photobucket All the mark making stuff, rulers and stationery. I like this corner cupboard a lot, it's a mess but it's the most used and it's got so many inspiring bits-and-bobs floating around in it.PhotobucketAnd all around the top of the place, in the eaves, lives the collection of vases. It's a nice place to work.

Next session this Saturday!

The next drawing session is this Saturday, drop us an email if you'd like to come along. It promises to be a good one.

Saturday 10th March - Looking at light and shade.

We prepared graphite boards and used a rubber to draw. We used monochrome still lives and directional light to make shadows.
Looking at  Chiaroscuro. Inspired by Emma Stibbon, Hammershoi and Joseph Wright of Derby.
