art workshops and creative parties

I like this definition of creativity: to live is to have problems and to solve problems is to grow creatively.
Creativity is all about divergent thinking as opposed to convergent thinking (one solution to a problem). So, taking some tape, a pair of scissors and some string what can you construct?

With the landscape painting course finished and the children’s summer art workshops not yet started, I have a bit of time up my sleeve to get work finished off for people before it all goes crazy again.

Happening at the Friquet Garden Centre from Monday 29th July to Friday 16th August, 10.30 – 12.30pm, for primary aged children, age 7 and older. Please see: Guernsey art workshops. com for further details.

An unframed acrylic going into the exhibition tomorrow: come on down to The Coach-House and say hello to me, from 11am.

with only just over one week until the opening of “More stories from the landscape” my latest exhibition at The Coach-House Gallery in Guernsey, one things for sure, my paintings are getting bigger!!

May is all go at the moment – getting ready for my exhibition opening at the beginning of June (as can be seen by the messy state of my studio) as well as getting ready for the summer course in landscape painting starting this Friday which is always good fun as we are somewhat dependent upon the weather being good to us – which it is at the moment, long may it last.

Yesterday the eight week Art Club course finished with a session of making badges. This is an important step for the children as it allows them to see their own artwork transformed into objects that have a place in the adult world. Lots have been learnt over the past two months with more to come in the summer holidays – see you then!
