Creative Design Workshops

Suitable for beginners and not at all scary!

Aim of the workshops:

• Learning to think creatively “Think Out of the Box”.
• To provide a springboard encouraging women to explore how they value and select recycled materials, items no longer in use or too readily discarded.
• Encourage women to generate their own creative ideas and challenge them to transform these materials into their own individual piece of artwork.

Skills used will include:

• Using a variety of different recycled, found or unusual materials to compose and create a design concept.
• Making design decisions regarding concept, construction and techniques.
• Explore shape and colour relationships, learning how to make a composition work by investigating texture, scale and use of materials.
• Learning how to pull the ‘Whole Thing’ together to create an overall pleasing piece.
• Exploring the potential regarding other recycled resources and opening possibilities to further develop and transform these ideas.

Please bring a range of recycled objects with you on the day, things you may like to consider incorporating into an art piece.

Dates of the courses are:

• Sunday 25th October, 10-4
• Sunday 8th November, 10-4
• Sunday 15th November, 10-4
