Workshop Details
A mixed media workshop exploring the shoreline in response to your own images and experience, creating evocative compositions which capture the subtle colour and textural qualities of sea and shore, using a combination of layered papers and fabric fragments, threads and fibres with acrylic colour.
The shoreline, the place where sea meets shore, a varied intertidal space to explore and interpret; work with mixed media, collage and painting techniques on a box canvas to create a personal response to the shoreline. Enjoy an inspiring day exploring techniques to replicate the textures and colours found along the shoreline; rocks, pebbles and fossils, seaweed fishing nets and wire, rusted metal and driftwood, all inspiration for development into a personal abstract shoreline seascape. Respond to your own memories, found objects, sketches and photographs; alternatively use the resources supplied by the tutor to spark an idea.
