Open Supervised Printmaking
Expressive Paintingwith Paul Wadsworth
A liberating course which enables students of all skill levels to explore a variety of expressive painting and drawing methods. Students will work from landscape and the life model to create large scale expressive works. Tuition includes mark making, colour, composition, energy, tonality and surface texture.
Figure Drawingwith Jason Walker
Taught by prize winning portrait artist and gifted teacher, Jason Walker, this one day drawing course covers many aspects of representing the figure through traditional life drawing including anatomy, proportion, measurement and composition. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience of working from the figure.
Colour and Abstractionwith Gareth Edwards
This intensive two day course explores mark making, colour and composition. The teaching will include practical exercises looking at the work of the great 20th century masters and leading contemporary abstract painters analysing techniques and strategies. The expressive and emotional qualities of colour will be explored as well as its formal qualities.
Gouache Paintingwith Maggie O’Brien
Our one day Gouache course provides a wonderful ‘taster’ of this exciting medium. Many well known artists from J M W Turner through to Patrick Heron, Howard Hodgkin, Roger Hilton and, more recently, Anish Kapoor have used gouache as a painting medium. Maggie O’Brien is the most generous and encouraging of artist teachers; sharing the tricks of her trade and helping students to brave trying methods and techniques which are new to them.
Experimental Drawingwith Sam Bassett
A playful course which aims to free up your drawing process. You will be encouraged to create spontaneous work through employing a wide range of experimental exercises. The course includes drawing with a huge range of materials from pencils, oil sticks, exercises on large paper with brushes on yard sticks to painting with industrial materials and immediate monoprinting with a press.
Printmaking for Beginners with Rachael Kantaris
This stimulating course offers beginners and those with limited experience of printmaking the opportunity to explore a wide range of printing techniques over two days. The teaching will be made up of both hands-on training and demonstrations. Techniques will include mono-printing with a press, intaglio and relief collagraph printing and drypoint.
Printing in Colour – Sir Terry Frostwith Mary Crockett
An unmissable opportunity for fans of Frost to make prints under expert guidance. The relief printing course will be taught by Mary Crockett who worked alongside Hugh Stoneman helping Frost make his prints here in Cornwall. Stoneman Gallery in Penzance has generously agreed to lend a number of the plates and prints made by Frost to help us teach this course.
Monoprinting and Drypointwith Naomi Frears
Both monoprinting and drypoint are wonderfully immediate printmaking processes which can inform and reflect the process of painting. Using simple very accessible methods of drawing and applying coloured printing ink, vibrant and unique original prints can be created. Monoprinting and drypoint would be of benefit to artists of all levels of experience to help provide a foundation for new avenues in their work.
Inspired by O’Caseywith Mary Crockett
This course will concentrate on the crisp, sharp lines of dry point and in contrast, carborundum which O’Casey used to create rich textured areas of tone. Mary Crockett who created prints with O’Casey towards the end of his life will guide students throughout the course. Stoneman Graphics who made many of his prints over the years have generously lent plates and prints made by the artist.
Printing on Fabricwith Claire Armitage
This special two day course enables students to design and make their own silk scarves under the guidance of a leading textile designer. The course will involve hands on work creating two designs; taking the scarves through from the design stage to learning how to colour separate, create and use silk screens and make repeat patterns right through to the finishing of the scarves ready to wear.
NEW The Potter’s Wheel with Jack Doherty
This course focuses on developing throwing skills from techniques for correct clay preparation and the essentials of throwing to centering and creating basic shapes. We then deal with ways of developing wheel made forms including turning, joining and construction techniques. There is a high level of individual tuition throughout the course. Basic knowledge of throwing required.
NEW The Vessel – Building Course with Jack Doherty
Renowned potter Jack Doherty teaches this inspiring four day course which is suitable for students who have a basic knowledge of throwing and or hand-building. Contemporary ceramic artists use the vessel form as the basis for an exciting canon of work. This course has a high level of individual tuition and offers students the opportunity to develop their ideas in both two and three dimensions.
NEW Modelling the Figure with Tim Shaw
This exciting three day course is led by renowned sculptor Tim Shaw who will encourage students to explore the figure with dynamic drawing through to modelling the human form in wax. There is a strong emphasis on understanding the natural balance of weight distribution that the figure is bound by in motion. Drawing and modelling will be integrated into each other over the three days - drawing with ink, sticks, brushes, charcoal etc. Tuition will be given on the basics of modelling the figure using wire and wax.
Stone Carvingwith David Paton
This four day course is for beginners and those that have a little experience of carving. The aim of the course is to provide each student with the skills and creative confidence to work with stone. The course is structured throughout - progressing through a series of staged approaches closely guided by your tutor, each student produces a small relief carving and a fully in-the-round sculpture. Includes a complimentary visit to The Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives.
NEW Artists’ Book Weekend with Alex Higlett & Georgina Hounsome
We have extended this course from one day to a weekend course as it has been hugely popular and there’s a lot to include. The course explores the Artists’ Book both as a physical object and as a way to showcase sequences of words and images. Georgina and Alex will take students through basic/guerrilla bookbinding techniques and book structures.
NEW Collage and Paintwith Jesse Leroy Smith
This exciting two day course enables students to explore the dynamic use of collage in their painting process. Artists throughout the Twentieth Century have used collage from Picasso and Braque to Pop artist Richard Hamilton and later artists such as Sandra Blow. A hands on course aimed at enlivening the process of painting.
NEW Abstract Landscape – Lamornawith Gareth Edwards
This two day abstract painting course explores the rock pools, cliffs, woods, shoreline and harbour of Lamorna Valley and Cove. The valley is the most diverse setting to forage for source material for abstract paintings. The course tackles abstract language and strategies to create paintings that exist independently from figurative references.
NEW Mark Making with Caroline Pedler
This inspiring one day Mark Making course is aimed at helping artists to learn to loosen up and play through drawing and painting. The course will encourage students to get beyond the blank page to a point where your painted and drawn marks intuitively lead your eye and hand. You will be encouraged to find your own artistic voice through experimental play.
NEW The Figurewith Rose Hilton
This new two day course is taught by Rose Hilton who is among the most renowned figure painters in the country. Rose will be guiding students through a day of drawing from the model in pencil and charcoal on day one; emphasising fluid use of line. On day two colour with acrylic paint will be introduced.
