Develop creative expression and confidence in this classic art form. The emphasis is on exploring materials and recycling, using glass, ceramic tiles, china, mirror, and marble. The course encompasses a wide range of approaches from fine art to ornament, to creating pieces for your home or garden. Application may be 2D or 3D. Suitable for all levels, especially beginners.
Teaching takes place in practical workshops with both group demonstrations and discussions and support. All students negotiate personal learning goals and projects with tutor. You will be working on a project using 1 of 3 techniques: direct, indirect or double indirect, from the design stage, the cutting and adhering of materials, to the final fixing onto a surface or casting into concrete. You will be exploring materials, textures, surface quality and different styles. Students will learn from each other.
