Expressive Drawing & Painting w. Nicola Perren

Join artist Nicola Perren for a 3-week short course of Expressive Drawing & Painting

If you want to be playful, experimental and ‘let’s see what happens’ with your drawing, then this new course at Globe Arts may just be the one for you.

Whether you are a seasoned or freshly minted drawer / painter, this new series of classes will be a creative journey through expressive, gestural and abstract approaches to image making.

This taught class will be centred around a couple of key prompts for each block of teaching. Initially, the blocks will be 3 weeks long [a weekly class, starting Mon 22nd April, 6.30-8.30pm] and the first focus will be… Circles & Translucency.

Exploring mark making, getting messy with materials, trialling a range of grounds, using colour in a clear manner and making sketchbooks will be key features.

Expressive drawing will enable you to play with drawn marks in a loose and uncomplex manner, it is fun and can be mindfully absorbing.

Nicola’s approach to teaching is positive, spirited, engaging, clear and experimental, whilst also being organised, supportive and directive when needed.

Natural Dye Course w. Kayleigh Davis

to 11 Jul

Natural Dye Course w. Kayleigh Davis

Join Kayleigh for this brand new 6 week natural dye course to be delivered here at Globe Arts - over the course of the growing season. The sessions will be accessible and suitable for participants to come to as many as they feel without the obligation of coming to every session. (You must however do the 1st one, in addition to any extras, just so you have the complete understanding of tools, techniques and language used throughout)

The sessions will follow the growing schedule of seasonally available plants.

Each session lasts 3 hours on Thursday evenings, to cover all there is to know about growing, foraging and dyeing with plant-based pigments.

 The course contents will be broken down as follows:

 ·      Week one: Preparing fabrics for natural dyeing

A hands-on introduction to creating successful prints. Natural dyes will not work without correctly prepared fabrics. This session will cover selecting fabrics, scouring and mordanting.

·      Week two: Natural Dye basics

Learn how to turn plants into pigments. This hands-on session will cover how to create a successful dye bath using dye plants and food waste. Using cotton, we will cover basic dye techniques such as dip dyeing and tie-dyeing.

 ·      Week three: Growing natural dyes

Natural dyes can be grown at home! Learn about planning and growing a dye garden with a session at Globe Arts. Learn which plants will be suitable, growing schedules, and how to harvest, dry and store dyes for year-round use. This session will involve drawing dye plants as we design our own dye gardens using mixed materials. You will also be given a helpful garden planning sheet to take home.

 ·      Week four: Bundle Dyeing and Hapa Zome

Create your own designs on fabric by learning the popular technique of bundle dyeing. Learn how to steam plants into cloth to create beautiful pieces. Whilst the bundles are in the pot, we will explore Hapa Zome – the art of hammering plants into cloth. Learn which plants are suitable and top tips to create crisp prints.

 ·      Week five: Foraging for natural dyes

Explore found natural dyes on a relaxing foraging walk around Globe’s surrounding green areas. Learn which local plants are safe to forage and how to do so responsibly to create beautiful textiles. We will then create a dye bath using foraged dyes.

 ·      Week six: Upcycle your wardrobe

This sustainable session encourages people to bring something made of white cotton or silk, e.g. a t-shirt, shorts, or a pillowcase. They will learn how to scour, mordant and dye their item using natural dyes to breathe new life into it!

Summer Life Drawing w. Jo Blaker

Summer Life Drawing w. Jo Blaker

Join Jo Blaker at Globe Arts Studio for her one-off
Summer Seasonal Life Drawing workshop.


This workshop is an opportunity to explore how a seasonal focus might inspire, extend, deepen or enrich our life drawing experience.

If regular life drawing classes don’t feel right for you, you might enjoy the freedom to experiment that previous participants tell us they especially enjoy about this class. Artist Jo Blaker will get you drawing with a range of materials, trying new ideas & exploring your interpretation of the season.

This session starts with an hour of drawing from seasonal objects or sources. Our model arrives at 11am when we transition to drawing the figure. We usually explore short, quick exploratory exercises initially.

Collaborative exercises have been especially popular so weave these in to as many sessions as we can. Expect playful, exciting drawing challenges that take you out of your comfort zone & take your work in unexpected directions.  

The length of this session ensures time to share & discuss our work and that we can take breaks where we need them and let ourselves really sink into the experience and savour it. The focus of this session is upon stimulating our creativity & expression as artists, responding to a range of stimuli as well as the human figure.

Each artist has freedom within our exercises to make them their own - through choice of process, material, scale etc. 

We hope in this session to get people started and for the artists in the room to take that in their own direction.

Please note - this class does not include teaching on proportion, measuring or other formal aspects of life drawing. 

£80 covers tuition, materials and refreshments

WE'VE POPPED THIS 2nd WORKSHOP ON, AS WE HAVE A WAITING LIST !

Join Catherine Edwards here at Globe Arts Studio for a full day 6 hour workshop making yourself - or the adventurous creative in your life - a pair of gorgeous slippers, in plenty of time for Christmas!!

Learn to cut your own patterns to the size you require and use them to trace onto top grade unwaxed leather, then cut out and mark up for stitching.

 You will be using the traditional Saddlers’ two handed sewing technique to stitch your slippers together and add a small heel. With your finished slippers as a size guide, create your own envelope style storage bag using super soft suede and attach a hand rolled leather toggle to fasten.

The making process is completed entirely by hand using genuine leatherworking tools including vintage and antique pieces from the tutors own collection.

 Suitable for beginners or the more experienced, work with beautiful leather, covering a range of skills, with tools and materials provided, techniques include cutting to pattern, hand stitching, and colour matching fabrics for upper and outer pieces.

Working in a small, friendly group with lots of individual attention, supervised individually by catherine, this inspiring one-day workshop is a great way to introduce yourself to working with leather.

Catherine Edwards trained as a boot and shoemaker. working for many years before a residency at the royal armouries, which led to the production of her first collection of unique leather goods.
