Courses have been designed to cover simple techniques that provide impressive feedback to participants. No special art skills, or equipment is needed, so that techniques that are learned can be continued and built upon at home.
Mixed media, nature journaling (2 days)
Using plants, flowers, leaves etc; participants will create nature prints with printing rollers, inks, and bleach. They will also work with text, computer generated images, and ink jet transparencies of the natural world, fabric, tissue paper, paints and resin. Together, these materials and techniques will form the basis of a set of images that will become the foundation of a journal or images that can be framed and displayed.

"My teaching style is firmly rooted in the knowledge that
the act of creating helps us to feel more alive. It is also a delightful outlet for play, a break from the seriousness of life. Enabling creative energies to emerge is something I love doing. I get great pleasure from the sense of achievement that my students feel when they have created something that they felt was beyond their capabilities, or hadn't previously imagined." Pauline Agnew
