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.
Old filing boxes full of letter stamps and spirograph.
Every kind of tape, staple or glue you could wish for.
A fine array of plants, naturally.
Pegs and string up in the ceiling for hanging up any work you want to get a little perpsective on.
Sixties plastic doilies for printing with.
Inks, concoctions and bookbinding bits.
Nice old school chairs and a table from my great grandmother.
All sorts of wire.
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.
And all around the top of the place, in the eaves, lives the collection of vases. It's a nice place to work.
Saturday just gone
We made landscapes using mono-printing techniques, thinking about depth and distance.
7th April session. Ephemeral clothing.
Today we made paper clothing, inspired by Stepanova, the constructivists, Caroline Broadhead and theatrical costume. We thought about shapes, lines and light and worked on a human scale.

And things got a little silly at times.








Brian didn't make it to the session but managed to turn up after we'd finished and blow all our modelling efforts out the water . . .

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.
