2 days’ of tutored experimental drawing, with natural materials, in a beautiful setting. Tutored by Katie Sollohub (recipient of top award for the 2020 Derwent Drawing Prize).
Explore a garden, goyle and Food Forest as the ground bursts with form and colour. Feel more alive, engage with your surroundings, wake up your senses and create! Drawing with mud, puddle water, leaves and twigs, this will be a hands-on, practical and immersive experience!
Draw in the garden, about the garden, with the garden, using found materials and homemade tools. Respond to the sights, sounds, smells and feel of the land, returning to the studio equipped with handfuls of inspiration. Experiment with natural binders and consider applying colour with pastels and watercolour.
Since people made marks on cave walls, humans have been drawn to leave a visual trace of themselves. In this workshop, you will be reminded how drawing is a truly tactile, instinctive, primal experience, using the body and natural materials to make marks.
This fun, experimental course is suitable for all.
August: Sat 1st 10:00 - 17:00, Sun 2nd 10:00 - 16:00

Directions
If you use SatNav, please type in 'Creative Beings'.
Awliscombe is 2 miles northwest from Honiton on the A373. Coming from Honiton, in the middle of the village on your right side you'll see the village car park then Chinston Close then, 10 metres later, the sign for 'The Old Rectory'. (If you go too far then you’ll pass the new vicarage then the primary school.)
There is a little parking on our drive and we try to keep some spaces available for those with reduced mobility. Alternatively, there are laybys just past our house (nearer the school) or the village car park.
