Wild Drawing with Frances: Thursday, 29th August, 10am

Wild Drawing! Or Wild Mark-Making (for those who don’t feel they can draw at all).

A let-loose drawing session for all! Break free from constraints or self judgement! (They restrict one���s drawing abilities.) Let go and flow your intrinsic self expression.  A useful skill in any field - since cave painting! Start with the freeing principle: if you can hold some form of mark-making implement, you CAN draw! Includes backwards/upside down/mud/stick/foot/food and blind image creation…

Fast Art with Sophie, Bank Holiday Monday, 26 August, 10:30am - 3:30pm

Sophie says:

"FAST ART is a workshop designed to ruffle your creative thinking feathers into an efficient, swift, collaborative and imaginative mindset. Sticking to an approximate 5 hour schedule, we will do some major idea generation, problem solving with a small budget, hand-make our idea using our small budget, exhibit what we have made and also hit the streets of Brighton to sell our art too. The Fast Art workshop will guide you through one whole cycle of the art world economy in a fun and simplistic way.”

Please bring :

- £1 each to put towards our budget

- A packed lunch and snacks

- if you like, also some arty resources such as paper and paint

FAST ART sessions don’t require any artistic experience. It’s about working together, being open minded, trying things out and learning tricks to help your creativity reach its full potential.

Griefwalker (Film Screening): Tuesday 20th August, 7pm

Griefwalker is a National Film Board of Canada feature documentary film, directed by Tim Wilson. It is a lyrical, poetic portrait of Stephen Jenkinson’s work with dying people. Filmed over a twelve year period, Griefwalker shows Jenkinson in teaching sessions with doctors and nurses, in counselling sessions with dying people and their families, and in meditative and often frank exchanges with the film’s director while paddling a birch bark canoe about the origins and consequences of his ideas for how we live and die.

Three More Weeks.

Three more weeks. We had a shuffle round of some of the classes. We cut some, made a few longer and rethought a few. (If there's something missing that you were looking forward to, call the director). And we've put in a few repeats (by request). And to make it as easy as possible to get in and try something out: - Your first class is free. - It's only £25 for everything in the timetable (if you sign up using this link). And, there are five more slots for additional classes in the next two weeks and lots of slots in the last week. If you'd like to teach something and haven't said so yet, then say so.
