In this workshop we will carve out an outdoor garden lantern made of aerated concrete which will house one or more tea lights. It will be a workshop where you will discover your hidden sculptural talents.
We will make this durable outdoor 30cm by 20cm lantern with a variety of chisels, large files and saw. These lanterns will look magical in your garden and your friends and family will be impressed with your artistic skills! All materials will be provided for. Please note that the cost of materials for this course is payable to the tutor during the course, in addition to the course fee paid to the College. For more details, please refer to the “Materials“ section on the course webpage. Bring requirements listed on Confirmation/website. No concession.

Come along and explore different aspects of drawing botanical flowers. This genre is a particular love of mine, it always gives me great pleasure drawing flowers (especially roses) in pencil, charcoal, conte and pastels.
We will study the shape, contour of each botanical item whilst learning the different uses of pencil, charcoal, conte in the use of constructing each piece. We will also look at different shading techniques, the importance of lighting, proportion and sizing, space, depth, mapping and symmetry of each art work. We will endeavour to bring out everyone‘s secret artist ability while marvelling at the beauty of nature. This course will run from my artist studio in the southern highlands. I have an extensive garden and people are welcomed to pick from my garden samples of botanical nature to draw. No concession.
