Workshop - experimental mark making with Adele Gibson

Wednesday 22nd May 10.30am - 1:00pm

We will visit the beach and Brunswick Square gardens (weather permitting) for visual inspiration, you will then be guided to make experimental marks in relationship to that experience. Adele will bring a selection of materials for you to experiment with.

We will be working on large sheets of paper (provided) and you will be shown how to make an artist concertina book. Some water-based materials, such as liquid graphite and acrylic inks will be provided, please feel free to bring your own brushes and any materials that you enjoy using.

Spaces limited to 8. Tickets £25 to include basic materials. 
To book, please email adelemgibson@yahoo.co.uk

Lunchtime walking workshops with Fleur Cowgill and Hilary Kennett

Thursday 23rd May, 1:00pm - 2:00pm

A one-hour workshop in the vicinity of The Regency Town House, stopping at various points to give participants a flavour of ways to record by mark-making not only what they see, but also what they hear and maybe even what they smell.

In the hectic everyday we are so used to internalising as we go about our lives. With the help of mark-making exercises, you will be encouraged to really look, listen and smell, with the aim of enhancing the way you research for your projects.

Tickets are £15, small sketchbook included. Please bring charcoal, crayons etc. to make marks (some provided).
To book, please email adelemgibson@yahoo.co.uk

As one of our guests wrote to us:

“I cannot praise tonight highly enough. It was absolutely fantastic. We had an amazing time. Simply glorious food and met some fabulous people too. In fact we decided we should say it was all terrible as we really don’t want to make it more popular and find we can’t get tickets for future events!!"
