New Art @ The Hub

We have a new booking for our studio space – The Hub. We will be hosting a Friday evening Art Sessions (3rd Friday of the month)

Local artists have been asked to showcase their talents in the form of a sampler workshops, talks, demonstrations or/and hands on practical sessions.

First date confirmed is with our local artist:

May 19th – Botanical drawing with charcoal with Rosie B Creates

Draw a botanical themed still life, exploring various techniques with charcoal. Paper and charcoal provided.
Rosie will be setting up a still life using dried flowers and interesting items to explore and draw
This is a taster workshop – we may explore different techniques, get messy hands ( wear an old shirt or bring a apron! )
Enjoy drawing in our studio space – workshops will hopefully lead to future dates being booked to explore drawing techniques further.
If you prefer to draw with an ipad, you are very welcome to bring along digital medium aswell. ( just makes sure its kept clean away from the charcoal!)
