5th January 2024 – We had our first workshop of the new year led by Janet and Lynda. Members were asked to illustrate parts of the poem, The Owl and the Pussycat. Lynda gave very interesting information about Edward Lear’s life and Janet brought in lovely examples of work completed by other artists for inspiration.
17th November 2023 – Mark Burgum and Fran Lily were due to lead today’s workshop but due to a mix-up will now be attending next week. Members had the opportunity to complete previous, unfinished work or to create something new from the large variety of photographs and pictures brought in by Janet and Carol.
10th November 2023 – Today’s workshop was organised and led by Janet. Members reflected on what Remembrance means to them and produced a diverse and poignant range of artwork.
20th October 2023 – Janet organised and presented a workshop on painting canals. Janet provided lots of different photographs she had taken from her walks along the Rochdale Canal from Luddendenfoot to Hebden Bridge. She also brought a couple of books which had tips on how to paint water and reflections.
8th September 2023 – Due to a last minute change to the schedule, Carol stepped in to lead an interesting and enjoyable workshop. Carol gave hints and tips for drawing with white chalk, pencil or pastel on to black paper. She brought in examples to demonstrate the different techniques that can be applied.
