Gelli Plate Monoprinting
This workshop will show you the techniques you will need to make a range of monoprints using the latest synthetic gelatine plates from Gelli Arts. Using a variety of stencils, masks, stamps (some commercial, some home-made), and pressed leaves you will work with GOLDEN’s OPEN Acrylics to make your multi-layered prints without a printing press. You can then take them a stage further using High Flow paint in paint pens or with brushes. These prints make beautiful art works and are also ideal for use in collage, scrapbooking and greeting card making. Gelli prints can also be incorporated in layers into your regular paintings – the possibilities are endless! In creating several small art works on paper, you will learn about working with transparent and opaque paints and the outcomes of layered colour mixing. You will also use iridescent colours for some special effects. Class numbers are limited to 6 and the day is suitable for beginners to art as well as experienced painters and print makers.

Airbrushing with High Flow
Always wanted to know how to use an airbrush for your painting, fabric or craft projects? During this workshop you will use masking to make layered images with GOLDEN’s airbrush acrylics (High Flow), while learning how to control the paint and air flow. You will also use interference fluid paint with airbrush medium to create special effects on 3D objects. There will be no spirit or lacquer mediums used. I will be hosting this workshop to be taught by multi-award winning artist and designer Fifi Colston, whose skills as an artist and teacher I cannot recommend highly enough. She airbrushed professionally as a commercial artist for 20 years, and now uses it for her wearable art, costume and props projects. She knows all the tips and tricks! Class numbers are limited to 6 and the day is suitable for beginners to art as well as experienced painters.

Art Nouveau Design
This workshop spans a weekend in October with all materials provided. It will look at some of the design elements in the work of Charles Rennie MacIntosh, a Glasgow born architect, designer, artist and one of Scotland's most influential creative figures. We will view images of some of his works to identify the basic design elements he became famous for during the Art Nouveau period – a contrast between strong right angles and floral-inspired decorative motifs with subtle curves, elongated forms, flowing lines, restrained colour, symbolism, geometric patterns, and emphasis on the rectilinear. You will play with those elements to make your own MacIntosh inspired designs. Everyone will have the opportunity to try out colour pencils, GOLDEN’s QoR watercolours, Fluid, High Flow and SoFlat paints on a variety of grounds. You can choose from Canson Drawing Paper, Bockingford Cold Pressed Watercolour paper or Hahnemuhle Acryl to develop your work.

Working with Colour
This workshop is about mixing colour to produce satisfying and exciting colour combinations in your paintings. We will work with top quality GOLDEN acrylics and you will learn about how to achieve overall colour harmony in your work. We will also cover working with complimentary colours, ‘loud and quiet’ colours and our personal colour cravings. The workshop will be more about practice than theory, although special attention will be given colour value (its place on a grey scale) and chroma (brightness). You will also learn about the pigment realities that are often neglected in theory based colour teaching – in other words, pigment selection for the cleanest and brightest possible mixes. The morning will concentrate on developing your own personal palette and by the afternoon you will be using this palette in an abstract painting inspired by the exciting dance-like colour works of Chinese artist Mimi Chen Ting. Class numbers are limited to 6 and the day is suitable for beginners to art as well as experienced painters.
