Jewellery Short Course w. Frances Noon

Join local artist, Frances Noon for this 4-week Jewellery making course!

Frances is an expert when it comes to wire sculptures and jewellery-making! Leave this course with your own unique jewellery!

This is the perfect beginner (and improver) course allowing you to develop different techniques over 4 weeks. We will initially be using copper and then move onto silver once you feel more confident. We will form pieces from sheet metal and wire and learn how to shape them into earrings, pendants or brooches.

We will solder using a gas torch, cut out shapes using a piercing saw, add texture & details to a metal surface through hammering & use of punches. We will also learn how to make our own findings, which are the ear wires & little jump rings that link pieces together.

The course is aimed at beginners and Frances will guide you through each technique, however, if you have attended the course previously or have experience from else where then you will be able to develop your skills further.


Look at the images below to see what clients made in Frances’ previous jewellery courses here at Globe Arts!

Spring Seasonal life drawing w. Jo Blaker
Apr

Spring Seasonal life drawing w. Jo Blaker

Join Jo Blaker at Globe Arts Studio for her one-off Spring 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, through your drawings.

This Spring themed session will be a celebration of the textures, forms & goings on in the wild as Winter becomes a memory & Summer waits for us around the corner. Expect playful, exciting drawing challenges that take you out of your comfort zone & take your work in unexpected directions. You are welcome to draw in ways that are abstract or whimsical, technical or totally intuitive - all styles welcome! 

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. 

Beautiful work produced from Jo’s previous Seasonal Life Drawing workshop
