2 day Portrait Workshop in acrylics inspired by Dante Gabriel Rossetti   Join well known Edinburgh artist and tutor Suzanne Kemplay and model Beth Davison to create a portrait in the style of the pre Raphaelite Brotherhood. Expect an atmospheric set and romantic lighting in keeping with the Rossetti’s style, with a few modern touches thrown in.   On Day 1 Suzanne will give a short talk on how to approach your composition and how to capture the spirit of the artist’s technique. You’ll plan and sketch out a drawing in the morning before moving on to painting in the afternoon and on day two.  All materials are supplied (or feel free to bring your own) and the class is kept small to ensure everyone gets some individual attention. This course is most suited to those who have some drawing experience but we welcome beginners. Over 14s only. The workshop will run from 10 - 4pm on 1 and 2 April.

You are about to unleash your inner sculptor on a new level! Our workshop is designed for beginners looking to learn the basics, including harvesting materials, shaping and joining wood, and completing a variety of structures. The wood we use is sourced from sustainably managed forests in Europe and Asia. We believe that knowing where your materials come from is important—that's why we make sure our wood comes from responsibly managed forests (the best kind). We know you'll love getting creative and making something beautiful out of nature's gifts!

Learn how to explore different inks, papers and objects to print onto. Play with colour and pattern until you're satisfied with the results. Marbling is a satisfying technique that creates beautiful and interesting results whatever your age or ability. It's so simple to set up at home once you have the skills!
