Tutor - Olive Haigh

Fridays, 10am - 3pm | 3 weeks

Starts Friday 21 March 2025

Use observation to explore your imagination and draw out personal narratives. We will observe through sight, as well as taste, touch and sound while gradually infusing imagination into the process. Each week we will focus on a different way of working, drawing from a rich wealth of inspiration, focusing particularly on Leonora Carrington and Paula Rego. Expect to create while being read stories, while eating a lemon, while watching films, eventually building your own physical world from which to create exciting artwork.

All materials provided, though you are welcome to bring along some inspiration. Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment and bring a bag or portfolio suitable for taking wet work home with you after the sessions.
