Printmaking weekend with Diane Spiers
Diane Spiers studied fine art at Glasgow School of Art, and Printmaking at Morley College, South London.
She runs regular art and craft workshops and courses in Cornwall and specialises in heritage interpretation.
“I love working contextually. Penlee has a fantastic heritage collection to draw on and the lessons we can learn from the Newlyn and Lamorna master artists are invaluable.
Printmaking, particularly intaglio, is a lovely responsive and inspiring medium to work in, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve in just two days. Why not come and have a go at creating your own masterpiece.”
Both beginners and experienced welcome.
£60 for two days. Includes materials. Payment by cash or cheque to Diane Spiers.
Held at Penlee Coach House, Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penzance. BOOKING ESSENTIAL - please phone 01736 363625 or email us at info@penleehouse.org.uk for further informatoon and to reserve a space
A Crash Course in Painting
with Jesse Leroy Smith
A five-week course for adults, each Saturday 10am - 1.00pm,
from 10 April to 8 May 2010
Each session, we will look at a specific stage in the development of a painting. From the foundations of how to prepare canvases with various primers, to how to frame and exhibit your work. With demonstrations about paint application, from under-painting to glazes, we can discover your own style of mark-making.
We can look at and study paintings at Penlee House and bring in paintings by contemporary artists and discuss them together.
I would like to leave the subject matter (landscape to portraits) open for discussion on our first session. All themes will cover composition, colour, expression and all factors of painting.
It will be a relaxed and inspiring atmosphere in which to share an interest in Painting and enjoy the process of finding the right painting style for you.
For more details, contact Jesse on malvern@blue-earth.co.uk or ring Mob 07808 748197
