Keith Powell a local landscape, wildlife and still life artist and enjoys painting in a realistic style and is influenced by the chiaroscuro lighting effect of the old masters still life paintings. He exhibits locally and is a member of the West Norfolk Artist Association, Art21 and the Wash Art Group. His class will be led by example and demonstration with Keith painting at the beginning and then assisting the group with their work. You can paint from images supplied or bring one of your own. Subject matter will vary. Painting with oil on canvas continues to be a favoured choice because of its long-lasting colour and the variety of approaches and methods. Oil paints may have been used as far back as the 13th century. Oil paintings do not require glass and a box canvas can be hung on the wall without need of a frame. Easily removed from the canvas, oil allows the artist to revise a work; paint can be placed on top of acrylic; it can be used straight from the tube and applied with a palette knife for texture or used as a thin glaze. Only non toxic, natural brush cleaning solvents will be used in this class as turpentine and white spirit can cause headaches. £46.25 (inclusive of VAT) -
Join Pippa to get to know your sewing machine, start that project or maybe get one finished. Pippa is on hand to get you over the tricky bits so that you don’t get too frustrated or confused. She’ll explain what that odd looking machine foot is for and demonstrate those tricky techniques as they come up. Translating sewing instructions has become a mainstay in her classes putting the technical into plain language. Sewing is a visual thing and although notes will be available for some techniques, the practical act will be more used. You will need to supply your own machine, pattern and fabric. If you’re just starting out, Pippa will lead you through the basics by completing a simple project like a cushion cover or something similar. Please let us know at the time of booking what stage you are at so that we can design the class accordingly. £185 (inclusive of VAT) -

Come along and make a silver, copper or brass bangle with a patterned texture of your choice. This will be a cuff/open style bangle and during the class you will learn various different jewellery making techniques such as hammering and forming and make your own finished piece of jewellery. If you choose to make your bangle out of copper or brass then the cost is included. If you choose to make it out of silver then there will be an additional charge of roughly £45 - £50 depending on size and price at the time of the workshop.

She then qualified in the subject and started The Argentum Design Company. Sara has been teaching the subject for about 10 years as well as all other forms of jewellery making such as enamelling, polymer clay and chain mail. Sara also works as a technical consultant for city and guilds developing silversmithing and jewellery courses for colleges around the world. All tools are supplied with the workshop.
