All things Oriental: Mixed
Media Easter School
With Mandy Pattullo
Thursday to Sunday | April 12, 13, 14, 15| 10.00 – 16.00 |
Japanese and Chinese decorative arts will be the starting point for this
intensive 4 day course. You will be able to have a go at some unusual
paint and print techniques using dyes, bleach and resists to copy the
gorgeous patterns found in Kimonos and on ceramics. You will be shown how
to build up multi layered responses that incorporate collage and printed
ephemera. Learn a little about repeat pattern and design your own
wallpaper or fabric using lino blocks. Have a go at drawing oriental
flowers with pen and ink and emulate Chinese brush painting through
painterly monotype. We will look at the Japanese-inspired work of
Elizabeth Blackadder, the surface designer approach of textiles artists
Joan Schulze and Cas Holmes and the prints of Hokusai and Utamaro among
others. Lots to learn but hopefully you will also be able to pursue your
own ideas and develop a very individual mixed media response to this
inspirational subject.
