Tutor - Sarah Dennis

Mondays, 6pm-8.30pm | 5 weeks

Starts Monday 2 June 2025

Join professional artist and illustrator Sarah Dennis on a captivating 5-week exploration into the world of paper-cutting. Discover the interplay of positive and negative shapes within drawings, focusing on silhouettes and composition. Immerse yourself in the delicate process of cutting out shapes to reveal intricate designs, where paper takes centre stage in your creations.
 
Each week, Sarah will introduce you to influential artists such as Kara Walker, Lotte Reiniger, and Rob Ryan, among others. Explore how their art reflects their worldviews and learn from their distinctive techniques and styles to inspire your own unique artistic creations.

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