art workshops and creative parties

seem to involve a lot of animals as models  these days, always nice to be around but not always in one place all the time

painting with the sun on your back and almost too hot to control the paint

Back into the wilds of St Peters looking at how to draw and paint everything around us, four Tuesday mornings 9.30-12, starting next week May 7th, more details on http://www.guernseyartworkshops.com

Monday 17th December, 4-8pm at Sausmarez Folk Museum

Books, cards and original art for sale

Really enjoyed sketching from a new location recently; that sense of adventure on seeing new shapes and colours appear from the landscape

I really enjoy working with children; their instinctual use of mark making and found objects reminds me how fearful adults can become of making mistakes

Currently on view at Candie Museum, my painting “Le Petit Colin” which is one of the illustrations inside the “Guernsey Legends” book also available at the Museum

After almost 15 years of work this book is finally published and ready to go out into the world – a great moment indeed.  Come and join us if you can, 2pm at Priaulx Library, 7th April 2018

New print available, http://www.franceslemmon.com

DESIGN AND MAKE A BOOK 

Held over two afternoons in the February half term, on Monday 19th and Wednesday 21st, from 2-4.30pm in my studio in St Peters.  We will be using oil paint to marble the cover, getting messy with paper pulp and then sewing the book all together using the bookbinders traditional coptic stitch to create something absolutely unique for you to treasure and keep.
