The Art of Book binding

£56/£53(c) • Friends £54/£51(c)

Professional bookbinder and member of the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen, Pamela Richmond is here to offer an introduction to the fascinating art of bookbinding.  During today’s workshop you will make a single and multiple section notebook with soft covers where you will then introduce decorative sewing techniques. If you get through that in no time you may also have the chance to make a notepad with a loose hard cover.

Glorious Landscapes with a Limited Colour Palette

£70/£67(c) • Friends £68/£65(c)

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.

Fused Glass Lantern Panels

£44/£41(c) • Friends £42/£39(c)

Your work is to create the most beautiful panels to convert a humble lantern into a thing of beauty, giving it a personal touch.

During this afternoon’s session you will be taught how to cut and handle glass, learning about the fusing process and principles, then shown a series of techniques including the use of cut glass, paints, enamels, fruit and stringers to create your design.
