Sketchbook Explorations in Mixed Media with Shelley Rhodes
Sat June 10, 2023 @ 10:00 am - Sun June 11, 2023 @ 4:00 pm BST
| £200.00A weekend of exploration for all levels, using mixed media with paper, cloth and stitch. Inspired by our beautiful surroundings at Stanton Guildhouse, you will be guided through experimental approaches to drawing, mark-making and presentation as you fill several small sketchbooks.
Shelley is a mixed media artist who records daily in a sketchbook. She has a background in graphic design and is author of two books including ‘Sketchbook Explorations’.
Demonstrations and exercises will help you to develop your own exciting, layered images using a range of media. The aim is to capture the essence of what you see using handmade drawing tools, collage and print. Images will be torn, chopped up, rearranged and reassembled to create a visually exciting, tactile work. You will work on paper and cloth and combine these in several small sketchbooks.
Shelley will provide a sketchbook, paper and cloth as well as some other materials. There will also be a list for each participant to bring. See below.
