Wed 23rd November 2pm - 5pm
Our brand new 'In the Style Of' workshops bring together our ever popular ArtTalks with the joy of a LivePlus™ class. Join us for an engaging talk with our resident art history expert, Martin Beek, followed by a live demonstration by a super talented Ardington tutor on the techniques of the featured artist.
This workshop is ideal for anyone with an interest in the work of William Morris and is open to students of all abilities.
Workshop details
In this, the first of our new series, Martin Beek and Heather Victoria Held will be taking an in-depth look at the flowers and plants of British artist and textile designer, William Morris.
ArtTalk
Martin will offer an overview of the life of William Morris, before focusing in on the grace, beauty, colours, and characteristics of the foliate designs Morris is known for. There are countless florals and leaves to explore that give these infamous designs their distinctions.
Martin's talk will be illustrated where possible with original photographs and slides. He will also provide a list of helpful books and links to further explore on a PDF following the talk.
Demonstration
Morris had an incredible ability to adapt and harmonize florals and leaves into beautiful motifs and patterns. Taking inspiration from designs like the Strawberry Thief and the St. James pattern, Heather will teach you how to create a foliate design that will work as a stand-alone piece or can be used to augment your calligraphic work. Working with the pointed pen and watercolour, we will explore the wonder of Morris' flowers and leaves.
Heather's demonstration will also be accompanied by a PDF handout offering a wonderful downloadable resource for you to use for years to come.
Apart from your notepad and pen, you needn't have the materials ready whilst watching this class. Afterwards you will be given a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days
