Off the Beaten Track

16 May 2023

Walking shoes required for this workshop! I’m so looking forward to “Off the Beaten Track” on Saturday the 20th May in Pringle Bay, as its brand new and will include a gentle walk in the fynbos, some simple mark making inspired by what we see, a bespoke working surface, a little drawing (no drawing skills required!) and even some simple stitching if you like. We will make an abstract recording of our walk with fabric, paper, pencils, pens, paint, thread, etc.
This is a jam packed mixed media workshop so will run a little longer than most.
*If the weather doesn’t play ball, we’ll go for an imaginary walk!
Includes materials, refreshments and a light lunch.

to book please request a booking form

My partner is Victor Harley, and these are our contributions… every picture tells a story. Victor’s mixed media work is entitled ‘Conversations with a disproportionate loss’, while mine is ‘The dichotomy of the seen and the unseen ‘. Read more →
