In this 2 hour workshop, the peaceful tradition of Still Life is turned on its head with a bizarre collection and arrangement of disparate/ different objects and textures, designed to explore editing, pattern and form. The arrangement will be so chaotic that you will find yourself selecting areas that interest you, and creating from those. What you select will be an indicator of what draws you in and inspires you.
By using assorted tapes, paint and pens from Cass Art, we push these mediums to develop both our understanding of them and our signature way of handling them. You will learn how to extend and create a colour palette for yourself with the basic primary colours, and how to exploit the different textures obtainable from acrylic paint that range from a watery wash to the thick and impasto.

In this workshop, offered in collaboration between Cass Art and London College of Fashion, UAL, we will begin by exploring the dynamic interaction between the mind, body, and brush.
Throughout the workshop, we will investigate the capabilities of inks and watercolours through a series of experiments with the media and its alchemical interaction with other materials.
We will try techniques to master their fluid and unpredictable nature, learning to work with these mediums to introduce elements of discovery and surprise into our art. By experimenting with different tools and application methods, we will uncover how watercolour and ink can bridge the gap between drawing and painting disciplines.

Join Martha, member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours, in a 2-hour playful and experimental watercolour workshop. You will explore the properties of the medium and create works that combine abstract and figurative elements.
You will use photos and source material as a starting point, to play with water-based media and palettes. Demonstrations of various traditional and experimental watercolour and acrylic ink techniques will help you create fashion silhouettes by exploring how abstraction and figuration can work together. With guidance, you will experiment with the media’s qualities, their fluidity and transparency, and gradually work towards works that embrace happy accidents and bleeds. This layered approach will culminate in the creation of figures that emerge out of the juxtaposition of seemingly underdeveloped, abstract marks, with elements developed in detail.

All materials will be provided.

The roots of this famed paper brand lie in Etival Clairefontaine, near Strasbourg, the historic home of the French paper industry. The Clairefontaine paper mill was set up in 1858, using cotton from the local textile industry, and progressed from paper to envelopes and then to a range of notebooks that are still standard-issue in French schools. Clairefontaine continues to manufacture all its own materials, and is famed for its ultra smooth writing paper as well as its art papers.
