CHILDREN’S ART DAYS
SUMMER 2010


THURSDAY 29TH JULY
FRIDAY 30TH JULY
TUESDAY 31ST AUGUST
WEDNESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 

All these days start at 10.45 and finish at 4.15 and cost £25.00 per day.

 The usual format is to draw and paint in the morning and make sculpture in the afternoon. All materials are supplied. The idea is to make the days a good mixture of

fun and learning and each session will have a slightly different theme so it is possible to do more than one day. Come wearing old clothes, aprons or overalls and remember to bring a packed lunch.

 To sign up for any of these courses call or email Clare. Please send a cheque for £25.00, your telephone / mobile number and age of child to book a place.

 Please note that while all reasonable care will be taken and appropriate supervision provided for both children and adults attending these courses, it must be understood that Clare Trenchard cannot accept any responsibility for accidents or illness, or any form of damage to persons or property which might occur during the course.

 

 

AUTUMN COURSES 2010
 

TOWARDS ABSTRACTION
A DRAWING AND PAINTING COURSE

Thursday 9th and Friday 10th September, 10am – 5pm 

This is a two day course to be held mainly here in the studio but also using the local landscape. The course is for people who have already done a fair bit of painting but want to go a stage further, and begin to abstract what they see rather than to merely copy it, to get the ‘feel’ of a landscape rather than to ‘represent’ it. We’ll be using mixed media, pencil, charcoal, coloured chalk, conte, inks, acrylics, oils etc. Please bring your own equipment, paper etc. I will supply boards and easels.   

There will be a maximum of ten people for each class on a first come first served basis. Please bring your own packed lunch.  

Cost £90.00

 To sign up please call or email Clare. A deposit of 45.00 will secure a place

 

SCULPTURE (using an animal model)
Thursday 16th and Friday 17th September

This two day course will be held here in the studio here from 10 – 4.30. There will be a model to work from and we will go through the process of observing the form, making an armature and modelling in clay, wax or plaster.

Cost £115.00 (plus materials if not casting the finished piece with me)

SCULPTURE (using a life model)
Thursday 28th and Friday 29th October

This two day course will be the same as above except we will be working from a nude model.

Cost £115.00  (plus materials if not casting the finished piece with me)

 If people want to bring their own models to work from I am very happy for them to do so, just let me know so we don’t have too many conflicting species!
