All Things with Ink – Inktober 2019

Now in its 12th year, Inktober is a month long drawing challenge to explore your drawing skills with ink.

Join me at The Slipper Studio, in a relaxed and supportive environment, for our own mini Inktober. Spend the day drawing, doodling, exploring materials, images and ideas. Choose from the Inktober list of prompts, work from images available on the day or choose a theme that inspires you. It’s simply a great opportunity to put some time aside to draw. The workshop will suit all levels of ability; take as much or as little from the tuition as you need.

The First Cut – Lino Cutting for Beginners or Rusty Printmakers

Lino cutting and printing is a very enjoyable process that requires the minimum of specialist equipment. If you are looking to learn a new creative skill to fit in with a busy life, this could just be for you.

Working from a chosen image learn how to design, cut and print your own one colour lino. This is the perfect introduction to this addictive process. However, if you have previous experience of lino cutting, but would benefit from a few prompts and reminders, it’s likely that you will be able to progress quicker and develop a two colour print.

 

Saturday 26th October, 10 – 4pm, £65, including: materials, the use of equipment and refreshments; just bring your lunch.
