General Admission

Someone you know recently said with an Austrian accent that "You should always have a Plan" and we do agree when it comes to Drawing, Painting or any Creative activity. Here is one plan we created for you.
<ol>
<li>You smile, get really excited and look for all Art materials that you thought had gone and set yourself up making sure the Floor is kept protected, preferably not too far from a TV screen that you could HDMI connect to your PC for the class so you may use an easel for example.</li>
<li>you book a class here on Cademy and write it down on your Diary after ordering bits you need online.</li>
<li>The days has come, you've installed zoom on your PC, connected the Tele to it, got your equipment ready, kettle nearby and cookies (OH no! sorry not those) and had a look at our latest drawings captured at classes at http://e.pc.cd/r7WotalK or on Google to feel inspired/create a plan. Then you'll connect at 6.25pm so we can let you in. Classes usually start at 6.32pm but you can drop in at anytime even 5 mins before the end.</li>
<li>The Teacher will tell you what he/she would do, look at, keep an eye on or the opposite the don'ts. Trying to get you to add tools to your Artist tool box that you will use more and more, quicklier and more automatically so you can develop other sides of your Art.</li>
<li>Maybe your Wifi goes bad, you received a job call or you just forgot, oh no! In this case you have nothing to worry about as you now know that you can draw at anytime from the recording.</li>
<li>You've drawn for 2 to 3 hours (as occasionally we get a new life model who want to audition at the end for an hour), you feel amazing, you forgot Everything so you'll then mingle with other similar minded participants showing your drawings and getting feedback and tips. Some days you may want to rush out or not show any drawings and all is fine.</li>
<li>You want more and discovered that what you've paid for one class could be the same for a all Month (15 to 18 classes) and so you email us to find out more at eukart at msn.com.</li>
<li>You feel more and more part of a Local community and heard that we put everyone together on the Art Map such ass classes, models, Art teachers, Artists, and more and because you filled your Registration form here we'll help you appear on it.</li>
<li>You tell friends, family, Kids (as we also have classes for them), Parents, grand Parents, anyone who loves this hobby or needs one. If you are good at Social Networking then we have a great incentive for you. If anyone ask you what, who we are simply say that we are the People who went mad 18 years ago, and voluntarily did the impossible of saving Life Drawing Classes from extinction, Went on Tele and Radio with celebs many times, brought classes to 400 locations where no one has Drawn before from Parks, Offices, Squats, Empty buildings, etc, and don't charge anything for their help and guidance since 2003. Simply People living and sharing their Passion now with the entire World.</li>

Inspired by Pop Art and the graphic design of protest art, Neon Knitting uses Dayglo yarns to create bold designs using simple techniques:-
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Knitting stripes with knit &amp; purl patterns</li>
<li>Combining open and raised effects to create bold patterns</li>
<li>Adding fabric to knitting</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
The session includes a worksheet, knitting demonstrations, plus a PowerPoint presentation covering ways to create your fabrics, using simple mark making and basic silk screen printing.&nbsp; There will also be examples to inspire further exploration after the session.
&nbsp;
Aimed at anyone with an interest in textiles and soft sculpture, the workshop examines the artistic potential of knitting.&nbsp; The emphasis is on creating experimental samples, rather than a finished piece, although techniques can be adapted to create a garment, accessory or household object.

<ul>
<li>Knitting needles or crochet hooks.</li>
<li>Yarns, any will do, but bright and neon colours if you have them.</li>

Wednesdays 22nd May and 19th June 2024 - 18h00 to 21h00. This class is taught in two sessions of 3h00 (6h00 in total)
Silk Shading has been taken to the next level with this contemporary design. Silk shading is the art of creating shading with threads. This technique is also called needle painting (peinture a l’aiguille)
We will begin by introducing the split stitch on the outlines of the design. In the second stage, you will be learning how to blend colour using short and long stitch.
In the second session, we will practise the stem stitch and satin stitch. A cluster of crystals will be added to create some depth and sparkle.
The completed design reveals a flower with pink petals and carefully applied crystals add to the effect of droplets allowing the design to “shimmer” or “glisten” in the light.
Homework in between both sessions is recommended to allow a smooth transition in the class. Finishing all the steps taught in the first session will be recommended. Stitching all the outlines of the design and finish the silk shading in the flower.
The aim of this silk shading class is at someone who has knowledge of embroidery but would like to improve in the technique of Silk Shading.
The class is pitched towards intermediate students and the limited class size will allow you to develop at your own pace with plenty of one to one time with the tutor. 
Finished piece size is approximately 9cm (H) x 6cm (W)
Each kit includes: detailed instructions, white satin fabric, different colours of silk thread, Crystals, glass beads, white Gutermann thread and needles.
The class will allow you to develop at your own pace, with the opportunity for one to one guidance from the tutor due to the limited class numbers.
You will need the additional equipment:– a seated hoop 8 or 10 inch (with webbing around the top ring)
– embroidery scissors
– pins
– pencil and rubber
– notepad
Recommended but Optional:– goldwork pad (for the beads and crystals)
A link to access the class will be send to you two weeks before the course starts with instructions on how to access your course. You will need to download zoom and enter the details that you will receive.

About the Course
Learn & master coaching tools and skills that help teams and systems, address intangible hurdles which lead to a lack of trust, conflict, unskillful communication and tribalism, towards teams/systems which are more collaborative & aligned whilst at work and at home. 
The Fundamentals of Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching is a two-day course for coaching teams, as well as partnerships, families, and wider organisations, at the heart of which is Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI™).

Relationship Systems Intelligence
Beyond Emotional Intelligence (which is the relationship with self) and Social Intelligence (which is the interaction with others) lies Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI™), where the primary focus shifts to encompass the entire group, team, or system.
RSI acknowledges the system or team as a distinct entity, facilitating the emergence of change through collaborative efforts and shared leadership. Each system or team possesses a unique identity, complete with its own personality, intelligence, and information that go beyond the individual components within it.
Relationship Systems Intelligence (RSI) operates across three distinctive tiers: the individual system (where we navigate our inner voices), the dyadic or pair system, and expansive large group systems. Each of these tiers forms a crucial leg of the relationship systems coaching framework. Proficiency in all three is imperative for effectively coaching complex systems.

Course Outcomes:
Develop a deeper understanding of team dynamics.
Design intentional and accountable conversations.

TEA 'N CHAT - LINDA HARVEY - Textile Artist
1 APRIL 2025
TIME: 7-8pm  
 FREE EVENT
This event is held on ZOOM, so please register to get the Zoom details.



Join us for a FREE Tea 'N Chat with Textile artist and teacher LINDA HARVEY who talks about her work.
We are excited to have the immensely talented mixed-media textile artist Linda Harvey join us for our April Tea 'N Chat event. With over 25 years of experience in both teaching and creating, Linda brings a deep well of knowledge and a true passion for her craft. As the Head of Textiles at Archbishop Holgate's School in York and a dedicated member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, Linda's commitment to her art is truly inspiring.
On the night, during the event, we will be running a mini competition to win one of Linda's new Books ‘INSPIRED BY YOU’ 100 Days of Textiles Art



Linda’s artwork is a mesmerizing fusion of rustic textures and innovative techniques. Drawing inspiration from her travels, she transforms photographs into expressive, abstract textile creations. Her work beautifully reflects her love for color and texture, incorporating elements such as hand-felted backgrounds, free-motion embroidery, intricate layering, and rust dyeing.

LINDA HARVEY  Textile Artist and Head of Textiles at Archbishop Colgate School, York

Linda studied Textiles and Surface Design at University Centre Somerset, graduating in 1994. She is a textile artist and Head of Textiles at a York secondary school and a member of York Textile Artists and The Society for Embroidered Work, which promotes and supports the best in stitched art worldwide.
The inspiration for her work mainly comes from the places she visits, taking photographs of anything that catches her eye. These photographs give a starting point from which her work evolves, often working on several pieces at a time, as she enjoys an expressive and experimental way of working.
Linda is inspired by rustic textures and the ageing process, drawn to anything corroded and tarnished and immediately seeing how it can be turned into a textile art piece. Colour and texture are the key elements in her work.

Get your team talking



You finally managed to get everyone in the same room or teams call… but all you can hear is tumbleweed! Either that or the same few voices are leading the conversation. It’s frustrating because you know people have more to offer.

What you will get from this 60-minute session:
Understanding the main barriers to speaking up in meetings
Strategies for building psychological safety in your team
Tips on framing more purposeful questions and instructions for participation
A range of interactive participation tools to get people talking

This online session is designed to be as interactive as you wish. You are most welcome to ask questions, share challenges and discuss your ideas in order to get the most out of the session. You are equally welcome to listen in with your camera off. 

This session will be held on zoom – you will receive the meeting link a few days before the event.
