3 paint, light and texturePaint is a media many of use use, but here we will use it in simple and quick sketches and biuild up to a final piece that uses a range of hacks and techniques to record light and texture.

4 monoprints from your kitchenThis is a new theme for us! We will look at different ways of using tracing and monoprint techniques to play with the medium of printmaking...from the safety of your room without too many materials needed!

5 collaging and reusingIn the fourth of the workshops we use things that have not gone swell and things we can improve, to explore collaging in a range of quick workshops.

6 mixed media and wreakingThis can be a continuation of the last workshop, a combination of all we have tried, or a new workshop. We will use many of the techniques we have explored to push and pull and layer up our work.
