SUMMARY:MEADOWS AND WOODLANDS
DESCRIPTION:We explore the magic of woodland and meadows at this time of year as these rich areas have been transformed from winter and the spring.  We look at painting light in forests\, the magic of bluebell woods and the rich tapestries of woodland edges and meadow landscapes. \nMost suitable for water-based paint\, acrylic watercolour and gouache\, the principles also apply to oil painters. \nI give advice to both beginners or advanced students about improving or enriching their work. Suggest experiments with formats\, square\, small\, tall\, and wide. We discuss and experiment with colour balance issues to add mood and drama to for atmosphere.

SUMMARY:RAMBLES WITH SKETCHBOOKS
DESCRIPTION:For those who enjoy walking and sketching. This is the ideal combination of both\, exploring the local area with short\, not too strenuous half day rambles and a whole day ramble. Your sketchbook is a unique document which celebrates nature\, a source of inspiration for future image making\, and a memory of time well spent in good company. Walking & drawing really makes you slow down and appreciate your surroundings. It’s a great opportunity to get curious and look closely. From the tiniest star-shaped mosses to the vast sweep of the landscape before us\, our sketchbooks record time spent outdoors. Recording fleeting moments sketched on the hoof and longer sketches along the way we will create a rich visual record of our rambles which capture a sense of place. \nWe will explore: \nSketching outdoors with graphite sticks\, water soluble oil pastels\, and other mixed media \nTechniques to freely express and interpret nature and landscape \nSeeing and drawing the world in a playful and non-judgemental way \nWays to simplifying the landscape and capture the essence \nCreating looser more energetic sketching bursting with life and feeling for place \nPlaying with scale\, texture\, perspective and composition \nRediscovering how to relax and enjoy the process rather than worry above the results

SUMMARY:IF YOU CAN DOODLE\, YOU CAN DRAW
DESCRIPTION:There is one type of drawing that virtually everyone does and that is doodling. It’s fun\, mindful and entertaining. Many find it helps them think and absorb information in meetings . In the last few years several professional artists have taken a fresh look at doodle drawing\, no longer seeing it as frivolous and throw away. It’s seen as a valid art form that can be helpful at bringing out creative ideas. Your tutor Jason Skill has incorporated aspects of doodling into his own work for years. So\, whether you are a total beginner looking for a fun\, playful way to get into drawing and painting\, or you are an artist with a little experience who would like to tap into their more playful creative side\, then this course is for you.

SUMMARY:SCIENCE FICTION ON FILM TO 1970
DESCRIPTION:We will explore together the history of science fiction on film from the earliest days of cinema tricks to the dawn of the modern blockbuster. The essential question science fiction asks is ‘What would a world with different technology to the present day look like?’. Such speculative fictions overlap with a huge range of other genres\, and we will adopt an inclusive approach without getting too bogged down in monsters\, space\, or monsters in or from space. We will use clips and discussion to cover silent-era SF\, US SF in the ‘space race’ era\, and the 1960s discovery of ‘inner space’. There will be a nod to mad scientists and monsters along the way\, too! The course will also include viewings of three full length features drawn from the period between the beginning of the sound era and the first humans walking on the moon.

SUMMARY:ANCIENT EGYPTIAN BODIES IN ART
DESCRIPTION:The ancient Egyptians are almost immediate recognisable from their many depictions and the human body features prominently in Ancient Egyptian art. This course examines evidence for painting\, sculpture and relief to show changing fashions of representing the body over time – in art and in hieroglyphic writing.

SUMMARY:BOOKBINDING: RESTORATION
DESCRIPTION:Most books deteriorate over time and so book conservators had to develop skills in restoring them.  On this course you will learn the basics of book repairs using a variety of cloths\, papers\, and adhesives. You will learn how to: deconstruct a book in a safe and systematic fashion\, repair both individual pages and sections\, prepare your book should it require resewing\, replace the end papers\, undertake various techniques of preparation to the cover in order to allow new material to be added. And so please bring with you 3-4 books in need of some TLC. The course is suitable for all levels of expertise. If you wanted to make a book from new I would be happy to help you with this too but please bring the paper with you for this.

SUMMARY:CREATIVE LEATHERWORKING FOR BOOKBINDERS
DESCRIPTION:Using natural (undyed) and tannery dyed leathers\, students will learn how to apply a wide range of decorative finishes and textures to a leather surface\, including:  craquele\, printed resist\, transfer print\, dyeing and colouring.  The completed leather samples will then be used to cover a millboard plaquette with lined doublure which can then be used to further work the leather surface using inlayed and onlayed decorative elements.  Although these techniques are of particular use to bookbinders they can also be applied to a wide range of related leather crafts.
