Field Breaks Art Club

Welcome to Field Breaks Art Club, designed to motivate and inspire you as we head through the Autumn.  FBA Artist in Residence Hazel Money will guide you through a series of short and enjoyable workshops covering differing techniques and subjects.
Why not take time out and join in with one of our short on-line art classes?  Designed to inspire and motivate, the workshops are relaxed and fun, with an emphasis on experimentation.  Each class will introduce a topic or demonstrate a technique for you to try at home.  Join in during the class and chat to others for inspiration and ideas.
  • Motivate yourself with a new idea
  • Learn something different
  • No maximum class size

Just £12 per workshop

These workshops are designed to use simple art materials you are likely to have at home already.  Full demonstration is given throughout and you will have plenty of time for asking questions as we go along.  Classes take part on-line using Zoom so please ensure you have a comfortable perch to view your screen and a secure internet connection.  
Summer Garden in Soft Pastels

Friday 17th January 10:00am - 11:30am

Cast aside your Winter blues and join us in the garden for an exploration of all the bright and beautiful colours in your box. Learn how to use clashing colours to your advantage and work with patches of tone and contrast, letting the nature of soft pastels speak for themselves.

You will need:  Any set of soft pastels, pastel paper (your choice, tinted or plain - I’ll be using a textured non-sanded type) Cotton buds or blending stump, pencil eraser, old cloth to keep your hands clean

Old Priory Door in Pen and Wash

Monday 27th January 10:00am - 11:30am

This forgotten corner of a secret garden is the ideal place to focus our attention, using the simple method of line and watercolour. We will find ways to add interest and age to our stonework and subtle colours which will not overwhelm the quietness of our composition.

You will need:

Pencil, a waterproof drawing pen or biro, watercolour paper, watercolour set, mixing palette, water pot, a medium watercolour brush

Folk art flowers in acrylic paints

Friday 14th February 10:00am - 11:30am

Often referred to as the “Roses and Castles” style, there are many variations on the theme. We will use acrylic paints and build up our flowers using a mix of easy geometry and funinvention. You will find the process very mindful and gives super results!

You will need:  Smooth watercolour paper or a piece of card, hairdryer, acrylic paints, water pot, a variety of brushes, kitchen towel, mixing palette or old ceramic plate

Once you have signed up to a class, you will receive a confirmation by email.

Materials list and a Zoom link and an image to work from will be forwarded a few days before the workshop - please print this out beforehand if you can, however if you have no access to a printer, you will be able to see Hazel's throughout the workshop on your screen.

Please note - If you do not receive the link before the workshop, please do email or contact us, as the email may have gone astray - if you wait until after the workshop has taken place, unfortunately we cannot offer a refund

We look forward to seeing you soon!
