Join us in our monthly life drawing class with Gallery favourite, experienced artist and tutor, Rob Oldfield.

This workshop is open to everyone, from newcomers who want to take up a hobby through to experienced artists looking to hone their sketching skills.

Materials including various papers, pencils, charcoal and drawing boards will be supplied, but please feel free to bring your own too.

Explore the beautiful photographic process of cyanotype to create your own cyan-blue prints.

You will learn how to produce a set of cyanotypes where thin objects or acetates are placed directly onto specially-coated paper and then exposed to UV light. When these objects are removed and the paper is washed with water a blue image remains. You will also learn how to use a variety of effects called toning, intensifying and reducing which alters the blue-ness of the prints.

Learn and develop your skills and confidence in using a range of media such as charcoal, pencil and graphite to create drawn portraits working from reference images.

You will then experiment with monoprinting using a technique in which the inked up plate is drawn into and partially wiped away, creating light and dark areas (chiaroscuro) before making prints of your portraits.

The workshop will be taught in a step by step way with tutor advice and guidance.

Explore the exciting possibilities of using Procreate software for iPad to create drawings and portraits.

This is an introductory session in which you will be guided through the basic use of tools and brushes on the software. With these skills you will then be able to create your own portrait.

Important: it is a requirement that participants will need to bring your own iPad on which you have downloaded the Procreate software. You will need an iPencil and have access to a portrait reference image to use as inspiration.

On this one-day textile screen printing workshop you will learn how to prepare imagery for screen printing, and how to coat and expose screens using the photo emulsion method.

You will explore colour using textile pigment inks and learn how to mix colours for screen printing. You will be encouraged to develop a range of surface pattern prints using layering techniques with a focus on colour, shape and pattern.
