Have you ever wanted to make beautiful jewellery for yourself, a friend or family member? Handmade jewellery is a special gift to be worn with pride and treasured forever. This course is aimed at beginners and those wishing to refresh their skills with needle, thread, seed beads, crystals and pearls.
The course will begin with an introduction to the materials involved and an explanation of the spiral rope stitch. This is a super technique that once learnt, you will return to, over and over again. To start the workshop, Jenny will teach you the basic stitch to make a simple spiral rope bracelet, before moving on to demonstrate how the stitch can be adapted using different beads to produce varying effects. Following on from that using seed beads, pearls and crystals you will produce a flat spiral bracelet, this is a variation of the spiral stitch - it is a stunner! All tools and equipment will be provided but there will be a small charge for materials.

Pointillism - 23/24 July Fee £95
Georges Seurat (1859-1891) French post-Impressionist painter is noted for devising the technique known as Pointillism. He altered the direction of Modern Art by initiating Neo Impressionism. While Impressionists used small dabs of paint as part of their technique, Pointillism took this to the next level using only small distinct dots of pure colour applied in patterns to form an image and create an entire painting. This technique relies on the ability of the eye and mind to blend colour into fuller tones. Students will be instructed in how to complete a small picture using the pointillist technique. You will need to bring a 12” canvas, acrylic paints, brushes sizes 0, 2, 6 and 9, plus a picture of your favourite animal.

She adapted the use of small dots to produce her work, experimenting with watercolours, gouache, oils and eventually acrylics.
