Sketchbook course at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

FDPW member Chrissie Heughan will be teaching a course starting in October.

Here are the details:

Working with a Sketchbook 

Saturday mornings, 17 September to 22 October, 10am-1pm 

6 weeks
  £120
   All materials included

Carrying your sketchbook with you is the only way to ensure that you never forget a great idea you have encountered, or miss the chance of recording your thoughts or recollections which can be left as a record for later reference and for further exploration. Getting the best from your sketchbook is exactly what this course is designed to encourage and motivate.

Each Saturday students will meet at a different venue with tutor, Chrissie Heughan, and be given the tools to work with confidence in a range of media.

These six Saturday mornings will help you to:

1. Record a variety of visual stimuli


2. Select and edit your own personal viewpoints

3. Find materials sympathetic to suit your creativity

Location, theme and suggestions: 

We will end each session with an informal chat and ideas for further development over tea/coffee. Locations can include places such as: Museum of Childhood, Royal Botanical Gardens, Gallery of Modern Art, Gorgie City Farm, Surgeons' Hall, Forth Rail Bridge and Butterfly & Insect World.

Book your place
