Feeling creative and want to meet up with similar-minded people? Come along to our open studio sessions on the last Friday of every month. You can work in any medium (bring what you like) and there's always someone on hand to give advice.
During this workshop with artist, Claire Denny, you will learn how to draw your chosen shopfront image by beginning with simple big shapes. We will then break these down into smaller shapes resulting in a well-proportioned drawing to which you can add details, first in pencil, then pen and finally watercolour.
Be guided through all the techniques needed to enable you to create a piece of silver jewellery with a cabochon or faceted stone. You can choose from a pendant or ring but your design is your own. The day is very relaxed and everyone will go home having made a piece of jewellery to treasure forever.
Long pose sessions, once a month. Come and draw – in a great space – relaxed, easy going and untutored. You will have a single long pose over a two and a half hour session, during which you can draw or paint (non-toxic low odour paints only). Each session will have a different set up and those attending can help determine the pose. You will have access to a variety of great models and tutor Sara Myers.
This 3x half-day course with Tony Hinchliffe is for artists who have some experience of painting in watercolours or acrylics and wish to move to oil. It’s also a fantastic course for self-taught oil painters who want to increase their knowledge of using oils.
Would you like to learn the art of linocut? Come and join Northamptonshire-based linocut printmaker, Kat Lendacka. You will leave with a selection of prints and greeting cards and a new skill you can keep improving at home.
Learn how to encase sea glass with fine silver to make these treasures into a wearable pendant in this three-hour workshop with Beccy Gillatt. You will make a beautiful piece of jewellery to take away with you and treasure forever. Drinks and nibbles included.
The 8-week MBCT course is a well-established and scientifically-proven way of training your ‘meditation muscles’ by offering a programme which helps you understand and develop the wellbeing benefits of mindfulness. It provides a structured process with a group of people supported by regular practice, using paintings as a focus to help with the process.
A fun and experimental Saturday art class with Emma Lindsay held monthly. There will be an exciting project each time, which will teach children new skills and also how to use different materials in fun and varied ways.
