Glorious Landscapes with a Limited Colour Palette

Join landscape artist Guy Warner to explore the use of colour in landscape painting to produce an acrylic-on-canvas painting. You will be focusing on basic colour theory, investigating the way colours affect each other’s properties and appearance when used together and how a restricted palette can produce a dramatic result.

This will inform the final painting which will be painted in acrylics on a 20 inch square canvas.   

Fused Glass Owls

£55/£52(c) • Friends £53/£50(c)

Join glass fuser Simon Alderson and learn to make your own version of these exquisite barn owls.

You will begin with some cutting practice until you’re ready to cut out the bird shape. Once all pieces are cut Simon will guide you through a process of layering fruit to recreate the colouring of the iconic bird. Finally, we’ll be experimenting with application and displacement of frit to create tone and shade.
