LAURA KEMSHALL
My dear friend Laura Kemshall has two exciting courses taking place this summer, so why not check these out.
Altered Books ~ 9th July 2014 ~ 10am-4pm
Worfield Village Hall, Worfield, Bridgnorth, Shropshire
A one-day introduction to the exciting process of creating altered books.
Transform an old, un-loved book into a work of art! Starting with the basics of preparing pages we'll explore some of the best tactics and techniques for book altering. You'll be led by your chosen book, modifying the original structure with cutting and additions before customising the pages with mixed media, paint, print and collage. Liberating, experimental and highly addictive, what more can I say! During the class there will be ample opportunity to study examples of altered books and gather ideas to take home.
Workshop fee: �75 to include all art materials.
Monoprint ~ 23rd July 2014 ~10am-4pm
Worfield Village Hall, Worfield, Bridgnorth, Shropshire
A one-day introduction to monoprint techniques for paper and fabric
Got a Gelli plate and want to come play? Discover the wonderful immediacy of monoprint. We'll experiment with a range of approaches working on both paper and fabric to build a collection of materials. As well as the basic skills of monoprint we'll explore scale, mark making and neat ideas for combining monoprint with stencilling. During the class we'll chat about the potential of the prints created and how they might be taken further at home. Oh, and don't worry if you don't have a Gelli Plate I'll be providing simple plastic alternatives that'll work just as well.
Workshop fee: �75 to include all art materials.
