Journey of Discovery Through Mark Making with Belinda Collett & Gill Denbigh

£45 Adults £35 Kettering Leisure Pass Holders All Abilities Welcome Payment Reference code: AWSHOP002

‘Often as artists we become focused on producing perfect finished works. Whilst this always remains an admirable goal, we lose the opportunity to experiment with materials and simply take pleasure in the creative process. This workshop offers a chance to enjoy the experience of mark-making and the exciting results that can be achieved using basic equipment allied to the opportunity to create and explore. If your art is stuck in a rut, or you would simply like to try something new, please join us for a fun, relaxing, but productive workshop on Saturday 19th May. You may well go home with a finished piece and lots of ideas for a new artistic journey.’ What to bring: • Black ink • Plastic container (an old ice cream tub is ideal) • Protective clothing • Table protector Paper and additional materials will be provided.
