Welcome to Blackbird Arts - workshops coming up:
Why not have a look at the Archive to see what we do.
Woodblock Printing 14/4/18 NB change of date!
with Adele Scantlebury
This one day course is suitable for beginners, as well as those who are familiar with the techniques and just want to play for the day!
We will introduce you 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.
Wood Carving 12/5/18 NB this workshop is now full!
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 logs e.g. oak, sycamore and birch which will 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 7/7/18
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.
