The Format:

In this workshop we primarily focus on vessels, with the addition of some plants and fruits. However, the skills, techniques and approaches you learn can be applied to any subject matter.

Throughout the workshop you are encouraged to make it personal to you. 

You will be working with your own chosen objects which have meaning to you, and which will help you to understand your own preferences. You are encouraged to use your own colour palettes, to be flexible with the media you use, and to pay attention to your own preferences, both in terms of what outcomes you like, and what processes and materials bring you most joy. In this way you will work towards a final project bringing together your favoured techniques and your favourite style. 

Each participant in the workshop will hopefully produce work which is unique to them, and unlike the other workshop participants.

Olwyn Morinski

"This is such an inspirational class. Really really loved exploring all this and could actually keep doing this for quite a while. I had a lot of fun and that was special. Thank you."

Caren Scaife

"Wow! A moment I’ve been waiting for! I just watched Pam’s Week 4 lesson and it is fabulous! She has unlocked the mystery of how to create interesting edges in still life painting and she incorporated so many of the techniques she’s previously demonstrated. So many tips in this lesson! Thank you, Pam! I can’t wait to get to my studio!"

Happy Colleague
