UPCOMING workshop in September - gemma black - purely pencils ii

30/8/2014

As Gemma has advised, "'We will be stretching the imagination of the pencil as a humble tool and look at it in the light as an alternative tool for lettering and grounds. We will be working on paper as well as watercolour canvas to achieve a variety of results. We will also be branching into wearable pencil as we'll explore the use of pencil in textiles. Working on calico, fixing the colour in preparation so the article can be washed. A truly fun, experimental and enjoyable workshop!"

Celtic Borders

On the last Sunday in August members of the Society were treated to a workshop on Celtic Borders.

Cherrie told us about the origin of the knots and showed us a number of books which could be borrowed from our own library including The Book of Kells.

Cherrie put a great deal of preparation into this workshop. Unfortunately as it was held after the AGM there wasn't as much time to play as the class would have liked.

Celtic knots from the Book of Kells.

An example of one of the many worksheets Cherrie produced for the workshop. The example was to aid in drawing Celtic plants but somehow turned into a cat. Perplexing.

Just some of the knots produced at the workshop.

The title of this workshop left many of us wondering what it was really about. Then we found out - PLAY TIME !!!!!

We learnt about presenting letters differently, with various forms of decorations using lines and colours. Not much more to say really so look below for some great examples of student's work. Thanks Christine.
