27th October 2023 – This morning was organised by members, Ilona and Kate, who talked us through the process of making different kinds of Christmas cards and explained how they created some of the lovely sample cards they brought in. They provided lots of materials for us to use. Everyone had a fun day creating their own cards.
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.
6th October 2023 – Many members tried the painting method demonstrated by Mark Warner last week. Although he made it look easy, members rose to the challenge and created lovely artwork.
22nd September 2023 – The workshop was led by Lynda. Members were asked to bring watercolour paper, brushes and masking fluid. Brusho and other materials were provided on the day. Lynda explained what Brusho is and gave a demonstration on the different ways it can be used. For example you can sprinkle it on to wet paper, use a resist, paint on wood or shells. Members had a great time experimenting with this very colourful medium.
15th September 2023 – The workshop, organised and presented by Dr Lynne Hickin, was on the subject of facial expressions. Smiling, anger, puzzled, surprised, worried are all about facial muscles. It was a very interesting morning for our members.
