Bobby Britnell WorkshopsWorking Together

Ruth Issett and Bobby Britnell - Working Together

Please come and join Bobby and Ruth in beautiful Shropshire, on these challenging new courses designed to stimulate and challenge students through the application of drawing, colour and design in relation to textile practice. By offering a unique shared way of teaching students will benefit from the expert tuition from both tutors as students will switch tutors halfway through the course, but continue with the same body of work. Courses take place over three days, from 10.00am to 4.00pm

          

Course B1 - From Colour to Tone

Begin exploring colour with Ruth and create powerful, subtle, & dynamic combinations using a variety of methods. These exciting results will be used to translate into large scale tonal drawings with Bobby.

Course B2 - From Tone to Colour

Spend the first half of the course with Bobby, exploring ways of creating tonal drawings using pencil and charcoal and then move on to Ruth to learn techniques in the use of bringing colour into these compositions, with both liquid and dry coloured media.

Next dates: 7 - 9 May 2010

Course C1 - Working with Fabric, Mark and Colour

Begin with Ruth by exploring imagery using colour, dye, print and stitch onto calico and cotton organdie. Then transform these coloured cloths into a series of 2D and 3D resolved works with Bobby.

Course C2 - Working with Fabric, Mark and Colour

Begin with Bobby by building up surface imagery and organic marks onto natural coloured fabric, using mixed media in whites, greys and black. Ruth will take these fabrics on a journey of discovery through to numerous different solutions, using colour dye and stitch.

Next dates: 14 - 16 May 2010

Course D1 - Drawing With and Without a Pencil

Start with Ruth exploring alternative methods of ‘drawing’. Explore the possibilities of using liquid media to create imagery and to visualise your ideas. Bobby will then show how you can work directly with and onto these images to create depth and space, by using a pencil.

Course D2 - Drawing With and Without a Pencil

Spend time with Bobby learning how to create expressive marks and imagery, using just a soft pencil and rubber and then move to Ruth who will develop your drawn ideas using and exploring different papers, mixed media, print and resists.

Next dates: 22 - 24 March 2010
