Thursday mornings 9.30 – 12.30pm – Printmaking 

Explore ‘Monoprint, Monotype, Linocut or Dry-point’ and develop a range of innovative techniques, creating prints through the act of drawing.  These methods have been developed through the continual experimentations of artist and tutor Adam Grose (MA PGCE).

These methods of creativity form part of Adam’s ‘transferable skills project’, enabling artists and learners to further develop their interdisciplinary skills set.

Compliment your portfolio to a high standard of professionalism, building confidence and discover and develop through your practice-based research and experimentation.

These sessions promote greater development, in-turn affording greater fluidity in your approach to your work and ideas through one to one tutorials and technical assistance, enabling time to explore your practice in greater detail.

Friday mornings 9.30-12.30pm Painting and Drawing 

These classes have been designed for individuals who wish to draw, paint and cultivate their creative skills, either for leisure or to update their professional practice. Each session is delivered by an experienced art tutor who will introduce the group to a variety of techniques and assorted visual vocabulary, and offer support in developing specific interests and aspirations. Each member of the group will be encouraged to progress within a stimulating, sympathetic and energising environment.

Painting and Drawing 
Through an innovative approach to learning this programme is based on a practical and experimental understanding of painting and drawing in its manifest possibilities. This entails such basics as observational studies, techniques, skills, methods and materials, and design and compositional understanding. We aspire to stimulate debate, identify interests and encourage originality.

Each class is delivered by Janet Glynn-Smith  who is a very experienced regional artist and talented tutor. Janet likes to develop a close working relationship with all her students so they feel empowered to break through their creative barriers to explore new horizons and unlock hidden dimensions within their work and creative applications.
