I love the burst of energy the Spring brings and always feel compelled to offer a few weekend workshops.
This year is no different and I am happy to be sharing the lure of wabi-sabi with you as we explore the faded, transient and beauty of impermanence.
I have already been exploring the potential of this Japanese concept with my regular students and it has now entered my own creative process as I explore collaging, textures and working with layering and time.
The first workshop is based around the notion of the vessel and pattern. Working from a treasured object we will be playing with surface, texture and motif before creating our own vessels in response.
Wabi Sabi Still life
The second workshop will explore the notion of wabi-sabi and the landscape. We will be creating a series of drawings, prints, collages and paintings in response to the transient time worn qualities of the Morecambe bay estuary.
