Event Booking

Our next life class with a female model will take place on Friday, February 13th, 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.

Come to Hurdsfield Community Hub to try your hand at some papier mâché with Patty!  The 6-week Tuesday afternoon 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, zebra, elephant – 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 even a human being 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! Dates Session One – Tuesday, 24th February Session Two – Tuesday, 3rd March Session Three – Tuesday, 10th March Session Four – Tuesday, 17th March Session Five – Tuesday, 24th March […] ...
