Event Booking

The next life class with a male model will take place on Friday, September 12th, 7-9 pm. We will be working from the live model. The session is relaxed and informal. No previous experience is necessary but if you’re new to life drawing Patty will guide you through the basics. Students are encouraged to look at each other’s work and share ideas. £10 per person Please bring your own materials. This can be whatever you like to draw with – pen, pencil, charcoal, pastels.  An A4 or A3 pad is probably most convenient. If you prefer to work bigger or on loose paper then you will probably need a board. This can be rested on a chair in front of you or you can bring an easel if you have one. Please note: I require a minimum of 12 attendees for this event to go ahead. In the unlikely even that we do not reach this threshold, you will be offered a full refund.  It hasn’t been necessary yet (touch wood!)

I’m restructuring my Creative Art Workshops this time round. I’ll be running in 6-week blocks. The first of these, on Tuesday afternoons, 1-3 pm, will run through September to October.  After a break I’ll be switching to Thursday mornings through November and December.  I’m hoping lots of you will sign up for both but if you can only manage one day or the other, you’ll still be able to join us for one of the blocks.  .

Come to Hurdsfield Community Hub to try your hand at some papier mâché with Patty!  The 6-week workshop is suitable for both beginners and those with some experience. If you’re new to papier mâché you will learn how to make a 4-legged creature. Dog, cat, pig, dragon – the choice is yours! If you’ve already done one of my courses then you might want to try your hand at a bird or a figure this time. Our basic materials will be newspaper, magazines, wire and glue.  We’ll be using a flour and water paste (no nasty chemicals) which can easily be made at home. You can download the recipe here, though I will supply enough for everyone, as well as wire and masking tape. The only materials you need to bring are newspapers (too bulky to carry on my bike!) – and ideally some pictures of what you’d like to make. It could be a real animal or a fantastic beast of your own devising! Please note – no class on 16th October. Dates Session One – Thursday, 25th September Session Two – Thursday, 2nd October Session Three – Thursday, 9th October Session Four – Thursday, 23rd October Session Five […] ...
