Course Dates: 8^th- 10^th January  2025 (Wednesday - Friday)

Start the New Year with this exciting 3 day course in the Seawhite Studio, working with the wonderful Eve, dressed in her own dynamic and inspirational costumes, designed to adorn and accentuate the body, turning the studio into our very own catwalk!

Painting from the clothed figure means we will be looking at colour, texture and pattern as much as form and flesh. Celebrate the way fabric adorns the figure, how it changes as it wraps around form, glimpses of flesh, the features of the face emerging from folds and frills.

Course Dates: 20^th January  2025 (Monday)

Another unique opportunity to make use of the expanse of the Seawhite Studio and the in-spiration and motivation from Katie’s particular form of teaching. You do not have to be a dancer! This workshop is suitable for all, for anyone with an open heart and mind, physi-cally able and willing to let go and get messy. Beginners welcome. An ideal gift for a friend or loved one.

Course Dates: 24^th - 26^th February  2025 (Monday - Wednesday)

By stripping back painting to its most primary concerns and looking at the relationship between yourself and the materials, we can discover painting through its most tactile components , process, surface and touch. The three day course will encourage you to make a collection of expansive, large scale paintings and drawings, exploring rhythms in abstraction. Core to the course will be the importance of creating systems to underpin your work and developing the work through layering, mark making and expression.

Course Dates: 26^th- 28^th February  2025 (Wednesday - Friday)

On day one in the house itself, you will be encouraged to make expressive and experimental studies on a small scale as you directly experience the complexity of the interior - a wonderful mix of everyday life, domestic space, and period features in the architecture and decor. Drawing with all your senses, using pencils and coloured pastels, your drawings may be filled with sound, gesture, colour, pattern, details, space and light. We can spend the whole day there, with one to one guidance, and group discussions.

Course dates: April 1^st - 4^th  2025 (Tuesday to Friday)

Suitable for all levels, including beginners.

Inspired by the 'Matisse in his Studio’ exhibition, we will be creating simple still life set ups in the studio, bringing a sense of domestic space, though props, objects, fabrics and furniture. The way objects inhabit a space can be so evocative, suggesting something that has, or is about to happen, a half drunk cup, an open book. Still life has also been used by artists as a simple, manageable subject with which to play with much more universal themes, the play of light on forms, the effect of colour and pattern in a composition.
