POTTERY
TUTOR: Kate Mayo
DURATION: 10 weeks
Monday afternoon: 12.00 pm-3.00 pm
Fees: £125
Monday evenings: 7.15 - 9.15pm
Fees: £87
If you have always wanted to try pottery or have been inspired by “The Great Pottery Throwdown” then maybe this is the time to give it a go!
In these mixed ability classes I can teach you a range of basic pottery handbuilding techniques through guided projects or support you in developing your skills as you work on your own ideas. Learning to throw a pot on the wheel is something you can also try as you develop your ability to work with clay.
These are relaxed classes suitable for complete beginners and the more experienced, where your work is only limited by your imagination and the size of the kiln.

LINO CUTTING
Tutor: Eleanor Mulinder
Thursday afternoons 1 – 3.30pm
DURATION: 10 weeks
Fees: £96
This is a 10 week hands-on course where you will learn how to carve and print a multicoloured linocut by hand. You will be guided through the process of designing, carving and printing your own series of reduction prints.
You will learn how to create, carve and print your own multicoloured reduction linocut during this course. In reduction lino the design is produced from one single lino block, layering up the colour each time the lino block is cut. It is an interesting and challenging technique to learn and by the end of the course there will be little left of your lino block. On completion of the course you will have a small edition of your own colourful prints and the knowledge and skills to continue your lino printing journey at home. You may wish to bring some of your own images to work from, however plenty of inspiration will be at hand to help you decide.
About the tutor - Eleanor has been teaching for 30 years and has a BA Honours Degree in Graphic
Design from Glasgow School of Art. She is the joint owner of Wee Bothy Art which she runs with her
daughter Holly. More of their work can be seen at www.weebothyart.com and on Instagram

History in Art Lectures
Tutor: Margaret Mills
Friday afternoons 2.00 – 4.00
5 week course starting 7 March. Postponed from Autumn Term 2024
Fee: £40.00
‘Culture Vultures’ of the Grand Tour and What is Romanticism?
We will consider two aspects of art in the 18th and 19th centuries.
If you were a rich and often aristocratic young man (or occasionally a young woman), the Grand Tour was on your ‘To Do’ list in the 18th and 19th centuries. Studying art and culture in Europe, and often bringing back decorative items to display in your house was one way of impressing your friends with your impeccable taste, and we look at some examples.
We will go on to look at how Romanticist artists used colours and often dramatic themes emphasising the emotions (particularly the sublime), the feelings, individualism and nature. John Constable, William Blake and J.M.W. Turner are artists associated with the art of romanticism, and we consider the movement and its impact.
