Art Classes for the Autumn from dot-art

As the summer draws to an end and the days grow shorter, it is a great time to think about new and interesting ways to fill our evenings and weekends. dot-art has a fantastic range of art classes and workshops for the Autumn months, across Liverpool and the Wirral, which are guaranteed to get your creative juices flowing!

Starting at our newest venue, Ness Gardens on the Wirral, from Monday 3rd October there will be two new 10 week classes; in the evening, Drawing at Ness Gardens which is based on the highly successful Drawing in the Palm House and led by artist Josie Jenkins, using the gardens as direct inspiration and subject matter and allowing participants to experiment with new materials and processes, and in the afternoon Introduction to Pastels, focusing on drawing images using pastels, looking at the flowers and plants of Ness as inspiration.

In addition there will be two new one day courses at Ness, taking place on Sundays in October and November. Beginners Drawing and Painting will offer the chance of people to try their hand at these skills, perhaps for the first time in many years andAdventures in Analogue Photography will introduce participants to the use of traditional photographic techniques as a way of creating unique artistic images in response to the beautiful surroundings of Ness Gardens.

Back in Liverpool, the first week of October will see Bluecoat once again hosting the popular 10 week evening courses in Life Drawing, Beginners Painting (Acrylics) and Jewellery Making in Metal, as well as a one day workshop in Intermediate Life Drawing and another Adventures in Analogue Photography day. Hope Street Ltd will be again be hosting Richard Meaghan’s 10 week evening course in Intermediate Painting (Oils), designed for those with some painting experience, or as a follow on to his Beginners Painting course, as well as Sculpting with Polymer Clay with sculptor Faith Bebbington, who will help beginners and more experienced practitioners alike to create their own small scale figurative sculpture using polymer clay.

Over in south Liverpool, we continue our series of Sketching in the Palm House events at Sefton Park Palm House in November. In addition we have a 6 Week Drawing in the Palm House evening course, starting on Wednesday 26th October, also led by award winning artist Josie Jenkins. Both the one day and 6 week courses will give you the opportunity to learn or recap basic techniques to help you draw from observation, try different materials and express what you see through drawing, in unique and inspiring surroundings.

Finally, the dot-art Gallery will be the meeting point for an Autumn Photowalk on Saturday 8th October. Start your weekend with a walk around Liverpool’s world famous waterfront and landmarks during which your tutor, BIPP Photographer of the Year 2016 Bryn Davies, will guide you through finding the best angles and perspectives.
