New monthly all day Sundays, second Sunday of the month, at Lydiate parish hall L31 4EQ

next class April 13th 2025, a monthly class, second Sunday of the month.

This course offers you the opportunity to take your own personal journey towards semi-abstraction and abstraction. Intended to show members how they can take this journey on a well structured course, yet flexible enough to allow for individual choices.

Remember, working this way gives you complete freedom as an artist. No restrictions as there's no right or wrong way of doing it. It's simply down to your own creativity, but often this needs to nurtured.

Course will be ongoing through the year and will develop in an organic way. Though structured to teach from the very basics, how to create and develop an idea into a finished piece of art, or series, the course will be flexible to enable the participants to have an input so that everyone gets the maximum outcome. You will be encouraged to work on your own initiative away from class. This could be exploring ideas, researching like-minded artists to further your own knowledge. More on this in class.

It's intended to run a taster session at Lydiate parish hall on Sunday December 15th. 10am to 3pm. Will focus on the first criteria, how to come up with an idea, then developing that idea in drawing & sketching.
