Through hands-on experimentation, you will learn how these processes can enrich your visual language and lead to the creation of distinctive, contemporary artworks.  

Immerse yourself in the luminous world of watercolour and explore the expressive potential of the medium, working across landscapes, still life, and the human figure. With demonstrations, hands-on exercises, and discussions, this course supports you to refine your technique while embracing spontaneity. 

Discover how to throw clay on a potter’s wheel to create objects of simplicity and beauty. Through guided practices and one-to-one tuition, learn the foundational movements and techniques of wheelforming that will equip you with the skills to produce vessels with confidence. 

Spend five days building, experimenting, and learning with ceramic artist Holly Macdonald. Through a mix of coiling, ceramic stains, surface texture, pinching, and slab construction, you'll produce expressive vessels and sculptural forms. Suitable for all levels, this workshop celebrates intuitive making, imagination, and playful exploration in clay. 

Work directly from the nude figure to understand the balance between observed figuration and abstract formal qualities. All fundamental drawing elements are considered, including compositional issues of the human form, space and structure.
