SUMMARY:Acrylics & Mixed Media Club · Series 1 — Autumn
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £90 → \nDates in this series:Wednesday 7 October\, 12:30pmWednesday 14 October\, 12:30pmWednesday 21 October\, 12:30pm \nThree Wednesday afternoons\, from confident acrylics to a mixed-media way of working that is yours. The first weeks build the acrylic foundations: mixing colour without making mud\, value and volume\, layering dark to light\, bold marks with brush and palette knife. The later weeks open the box — inks\, texture\, collage and paint over that acrylic ground — and the whole series builds towards one piece: St Michael’s Mount in mixed media. Damian’s own finished Mount is on this page — the one from Paint In The Style Of — alongside the mixed-media version\, the study drawing that came before it\, and a bold\, loose pear in impasto acrylic from the first weeks. So you can see where the three weeks are going before you book. \nWednesdays 12:30–15:00 — 7\, 14 and 21 October — at the Cornish Craft Barn. £30 a session\, paid as one series of £90; continue into Series 2 after half-term — six Wednesdays\, 4 November to 9 December\, £180. \n\nThree sessions of two and a half hours\, 8 seats\, beginners and improvers together — no acrylics experience needed for the first.\nA week off on 30 September — homework\, with tasks set to bring back finished on the 7th.\nSessions 1–2: colour theory\, avoiding mud\, dark-to-light layering\, form and perspective\, palette-knife marks.\nSessions 3–4: inks\, texture pastes\, collage and found paper over acrylic — the Mount taking shape\, and knowing when to stop.\nA short materials list before you start\, and a starter kit at cost if you would rather not buy your own yet.\nA one-page recap each week with the demonstration photos\, and the group’s own album.\nYour own St Michael’s Mount in mixed media by the last session\, and first refusal on Series 2 (4 November to 9 December\, £180) before it goes public.\n\nThe ladder: an Essentials half-day is the taster; a Club Series is where you get properly better; Studio mornings are the room to keep painting in. \n \nGround we cover across the series: \n\npainting water — sea\, river and harbours\npainting trees\, and the different kinds\nperspective in acrylics\natmospheric landscapes\ncreative portraits\nurban landscapes\nsunlight and shadows\nacrylics solutions and secrets\n\nBook your place →

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Water Soluble Oils — with Les Trewin
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £55 → \nAn introduction to water-soluble oils — a full day with guest tutor Les Trewin. \nOil paint without the solvents. Water-soluble oils behave like conventional oils and finish like them too\, but the brushes wash out in water — which makes them a genuinely practical way into oil painting. \nYou will make your own small still-life study over the day. Les begins with the medium itself: how it differs from conventional oils\, what it does well\, and what it asks of you. Then the underpainting — an imprimatura in burnt sienna — building the tonal values of the still life and learning how contrast creates form and depth. After lunch\, colour: mixing and matching accurately from a limited palette\, working thin to thick and dark to light\, and building the layers that give a painting its depth. You will finish with advice on varnishing. \nBy the end you should have the skill and the confidence to pick up water-soluble oils on your own. \nNo experience needed. Boards come ready gessoed with a still-life drawing prepared for you\, and you take home a palette with enough paint to finish your piece if you would like to. \nFriday\, 10am–4pm\, with half an hour for lunch\, at the Cornish Craft Barn. \nBook your place →

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Water Soluble Oils — with Les Trewin
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £49 → \nAn introduction to water-soluble oils — a full day with guest tutor Les Trewin. \nOil paint without the solvents. Water-soluble oils behave like conventional oils and finish like them too\, but the brushes wash out in water — which makes them a genuinely practical way into oil painting. \nYou will make your own small still-life study over the day. Les begins with the medium itself: how it differs from conventional oils\, what it does well\, and what it asks of you. Then the underpainting — an imprimatura in burnt sienna — building the tonal values of the still life and learning how contrast creates form and depth. After lunch\, colour: mixing and matching accurately from a limited palette\, working thin to thick and dark to light\, and building the layers that give a painting its depth. You will finish with advice on varnishing. \nBy the end you should have the skill and the confidence to pick up water-soluble oils on your own. \nNo experience needed. Boards come ready gessoed with a still-life drawing prepared for you\, and you take home a palette with enough paint to finish your piece if you would like to. \nFriday\, 10am–4pm\, with half an hour for lunch\, at the Cornish Craft Barn. \nBook your place →

SUMMARY:Creative Confidence with Carla Jennings (3 Workshop Series) — New Year
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £99 → \nDates in this series:Tuesday 12 January\, 1:00pmTuesday 19 January\, 1:00pmTuesday 26 January\, 1:00pm \nAre you paralysed by the fear of the blank page? Do you find yourself overthinking every brushstroke\, worried you’ll “mess it up”? If you’re tentative\, hesitant\, or scared to start because you don’t trust your own artistic instincts\, this series of three workshops with guest tutor Carla Jennings will help you break down those emotional barriers. \nThis is your official permission slip to make mistakes\, embrace the process\, and finally trust your judgment. Each workshop is 3 hours long\, focuses purely on process\, and builds on the one before. \n\nWorkshop 1 — Mark Making (Tue 29 Sept): embrace mistakes & trust your instincts whilst bringing more energy and life into your artwork; learn how setting limits can bring freedom & creative surprises.\nWorkshop 2 — Colour (Tue 6 Oct): use the core principles of colour theory as a roadmap for your intuition; turn accidental “mud” into sophisticated\, intentional depth & discover colours that feel right to you.\n\nPerfect for absolute beginners\, seasoned artists stuck in a rut\, or anyone who wants a more confident\, less tentative creative life. \nTuesdays 29 September\, 6 and 13 October\, 1pm–4pm at the Cornish Craft Barn. £99 for the three-session series. \nBook your place →

SUMMARY:Children’s Book Workshop · Series 6 — New Year
DESCRIPTION:Book your place — £160 → \nDates in this series:Friday 15 January\, 9:00amFriday 29 January\, 9:00amFriday 12 February\, 9:00amFriday 26 February\, 9:00amFriday 5 March\, 9:00am \nFour Friday mornings across January and February to take your picture book from an idea to work you are proud to show — and the monthly meet-up on top\, included. Character\, story shape\, the page turn\, and the art that carries it. \nFridays 09:00–13:00 — 15 and 29 January\, 12 and 26 February — then the meet-up on 5 March\, at the Cornish Craft Barn. £160 for all five mornings. \nWhy a fortnight between. The work happens in the gap. A week is enough to start a page and not enough to finish one; two weeks is time to sit with it\, and the people who got the most out of the last run were the ones who had that. \n\n15 January — set the scene. Gear up\, get your project files together\, and build them with the rest of the group.\n29 January\, 12 and 26 February — develop your work in earnest\, a fortnight to draw between each.\n5 March — the monthly meet-up\, included as a bonus. You bring what you have made\, meet people who have done the Children’s Book Workshop before\, and show your new Children’s Book friends.\n\n\nEight seats\, beginners and improvers together.\nA short materials list before you start\, and a starter kit at cost if you would rather not buy your own yet.\nA one-page recap each session with the demonstration photos\, and the group’s own album.\n\nThe ladder: an Essentials half-day is the taster; a Series is where you get properly better at one thing; Studio mornings are the room to keep working in. \nBook your place →
