NEW DATES FOR THE AUTUMN
Wood Carving - 13/10/18 - Wilderness Wood
with Martin Brockman
Martin will show you how to handle basic wood carving chisels and assess working in three dimensions. There will be a selection of locally sourced timber, e.g. planked lime for relief carving and oak, sycamore or birch logs - which can be your starting point to create a unique carving of a bird.
A lovely decoration from the woods!
Suitable for adults and competent teenagers.
Mosaic - 27/10/18 - Isfield Village Hall
with Hannah Griffiths
Local Mosaic Artist Hannah Griffiths will guide you through a small project suitable for a day long workshop, but also show you how to develop it further at home.
A range of materials will be provided, but students may wish to use their own collected tiles, broken crockery or treasured objects for particular personal projects.
Suitable for adults and competent teenagers
Woodblock Printing - 10/11/18 - Isfield Village Hall
with Adele Scantlebury
This one-day workshop is suitable for beginners, as well as those who are familiar with the techniques and just want to play for the day!
You will be introduced to a selection of materials - paper, ink, tools and blocks. You will be shown how to carve and print from a block that you have designed, the aim being that you go home with at least a couple of your own original prints.
Suitable for adults and competent teenagers.
Withy Deer Sculpture - 17/11/18 - Wilderness Wood

Come and spend the day in the beautiful surroundings of Wilderness Wood. Learn how to make a Withy Deer from willow, hazel or hornbeam - depending on what is available.
