We are running workshops from the atmospheric Hampshire Art studio barn at Tiebridge, just outside Stockbridge. The barn is on the edge of the water meadows by the River Test in an idyllic spot. Spacious and quiet with all our normal facilities (easels, tables, boards and biscuits).
We want to mark the start of this new venue with a Fresh Look at Drawing, priced enticingly, with Kate Measham encouraging you to do the impossible, and surprise yourself along the way.
Three Classes, Three Days at the New Studio
Monday 23rd January, Drawing: Interiors the Seen and Unseen
The Hampshire Art Studio Barn at Tiebridge will be a new experience for most of you. This class will explore every inch of the interior. How will we describe the unseen – the space, the age of the building, what goes on behind the doors, above the rafters, how does it feel to be here? How do we describe what we can see – the shadows, the light and objects within the barn? Big questions. Let’s try to make the impossible POSSIBLE.
Tuesday 24th January, Drawing: an Introduction for Beginners
Come and have a go at drawing with us at Hampshire Art studio. This will be a fun, exciting day for beginners, the rusty, and the uncertain. We will provide the materials, the tea, coffee and surprisingly good cake – you just have to turn up and have a go. We hope this will be a first step into a world of possibilities.
Wednesday 25th January, Drawing: Time and Place
A drawing can capture more than a moment in time without having to be a pretend photograph. This class will look at being in a place over a day. There will be changes, alterations (to yourself and to the drawings). Trying to capture images of the place, contrasting the ephemeral and the more solid, will change your ideas about the environment you occupy, and something of the nature of time.
These are the three classes that go together to make up A Fresh look at Drawing. You can do one day, two days, or the whole thing.
We want to encourage you to bring people with you, possibly friends you have made whilst doing other courses with us, or the partners in your lives, a family member, or a friend who doesn’t know about Hampshire Art studio but who might well enjoy classes with us. If you have only just discovered us come to a class with a friend as moral support (though we are a friendly crew).
