Please note this is a weekend workshop over two days from 10.30 am - 3.30 pm. Attendees will be able to separately prebook lunch at Grantham House.
We shall start the workshop by using inspiration from 20th century artists. During the workshop we shall build layers of colour, marks and textures and include stitch and found objects if desired to create landscapes that have a lively personal feel. We shall explore possible ways of working allowing for change and the unexpected. Individual approaches and a willingness to try something new will be encouraged.
