Unleash Your Creativity – find your Creative Mojo – Wednesday May 13th 10.30am – 4pm £37
A workshop to help you open up your creative soul and find a voice with paint in sketchbooks and on paper. This would be ideal if you have never painted before or you have plenty of art experience but suffer creative block and don’t know where to start.
It’s also a great way to learn to get into the zone – almost like meditation – and out of the chatter in your head!
A relaxed and introspective day to fire up your creative mojo.
Your place is reserved on purchase of a ticket.
Tickets available via Eventbrite HERE where there is also more info about what you need to bring or direct from Clare.
Be prepared for fun and inquisitive art making!
Wolf Town Art Club [online] Session 1
Sunday Nov 2nd 11am-1pm £5 plus small booking fee
As most of you know I have been running a little club at my studio at Newhampton Arts Centre for a few years now. We met once a month to work on small-scale art, sketchbooks and sometimes textiles. It was a great opportunity to swap ideas, have some social time and eat quite a lot of biscuits.
We all found it invaluable to get out of the house and away from other distractions to get cracking with what we love to do. There was no tuition, but ideas and motivation were in abundance. We also laughed!
Since the pandemic hit this had to stop. I know we have missed it. But we must look for new opportunities to meet, connect and be inspired. I put out one Facebook post to say I was going to put our Sunday sessions online and have had lots of interest.
So here we go – and as you see we have a new name. An art club for all – no matter what stage or standard. Who knows how it might develop…organically I hope? ‘Wolf Town Art Club’ is a safe supportive space to practice art. For now we will host on Zoom. You will click the link I send you just before 11am on November 1st and we will sign off at 1pm. Bring your own lunch or tea and jammy dodgers.
Do bring along anything you have been working on – we might have time to show some to each other – and anything you would like to work on after my activities if there is time and if you wish.
Since there has been quite a lot of interest we may not have time to do lots of chatting so I thought I could do a couple of fun activities with you in sketchbooks or on paper so that we could loosen up and learn about our materials and try a new activity or two – who knows how this might inspire you. Depending on numbers I might group you for a chat in the middle and we can show our work at the end (although there is ZERO pressure to do this) if we want.
Here’s a little video to show you : https://youtu.be/2MMVV7jXvhk
– use what you have around the house – no posh materials needed at all, but bring your fancy pens, pencils and water soluble media if you have them.
