Tutors - Bina Shah and Cath Bloomfield

1-day workshop

Monday 30 March 2026, 10.30am - 4.30pm

This workshop draws together the techniques of two artist-tutors, Bina Shah and Cath Bloomfield.

Using Bina’s natural home-made botanical inks and earth pigments, create gestural marks on papers using bamboo pens. Once created, Cath will demonstrate how to transform them into experimental paper sculptures or wall hangings that can be hung either from a bamboo cane, shaped to be hung on walls, or further enhances with LED lights to create an exquisite sculptural artwork for your home. 

Please wear clothes suitable for a studio environment, and bring a tote bag or similar sized bag with you to take artwork home. 

All basic materials provided and suitable for all abilities.
