Workshop at Fishpond Wood
Come and discover the magic of Fishpond Wood, Peat Lane, Bewerley, HG3 5HX.
As artist in residence at Fishpond Wood, I lead monthly workshops in the Hexagon Study Barn in the woods and explore with you the craft skills and artistic approaches needed to create collage.
The workshop on Saturday 29th June will take place from 2pm until 3.30pm. The cost is £15 per adult, £7.50 per child (under 16). You can book at info@whitewoodswellbeing.co.uk or telephone Peter on 07752 518028. Please bring your own refreshments if you wish.
Come along with a friend or family member and have fun whilst learning a new skill. You will be creating a beautiful collage to take home with you, made from some woodland materials. My theme in using recycled materials for my art is to highlight nature and the importance of protecting the environment. I work with unwanted, discarded material and turn it into something quite unique. I will be sharing my techniques to show how you can become more creative using recycled materials.
Art can make such a difference to our mental wellbeing, reducing stress and anxiety.
This section of my “Cherry Tree in Blossom” collage was created from recycled scratch cards, fabrics and dried petals. The original was auctioned to raise funds for a children’s charity.
