Coastal day of outdoor drawing & printing
Come join us for a fun-filled day of creativity at Botany Bay Beach. ‘Drawings have an immediacy. In a good session, drawing can be like going for a rugged, physical adventure on a blustery day with changing conditions of light and rain. A day passed without drawing is a day lost’. Antony Gormley.
This event is perfect for artists and nature lovers alike. Spend the day drawing and printing inspired by the beautiful coastal surroundings. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, this event is for everyone.
The morning will consist of a variety of drawing activities using diverse locally found materials, as you are led on a short beach ‘walk and draw’ by artist Fiona Fouhy. Expect to be refreshed in your body and art practice. After a print demonstration by Fiona, you will be released on the cliff-tops to do meditative monoprinting. You will go home with drawings and prints, invigorated and full of sea air.
All art materials will be supplied. You will need to bring a packed lunch, an apron and wear weather-appropriate clothes. The day will take place even if it is raining, but may be cancelled if it is too windy. The workshop is less suitable for people who have difficulties with mobility but contact Fiona directly to discuss this (fifouhy@hotmail.com). More information will be sent to participants nearer to the time.
For those who have booked, there will be additional activities offered, which you will be told about after booking your place.
