Rich, opulent and colourful – a fresh approach to still life
In the workshop, I will provide all the materials for members to create their own rich and opulent image. The inspiration will be groups of very varied objects. Materials will include acrylic paint, oil pastel, collage materials and glazes.

Floral Fields in oils or acrylic (with cold wax or acrylic retarder)
Using mark making and a vibrant spring colour palette we will create paintings full of colour and texture. It will give you the skills to paint fields of flowers in a fresh expressive way.
SOME MATERIALS PROVIDED

Jackie Curtis – 28th of November 2026
Mono prints with natural materials
We will use portable printing presses to produce a variety of monoprints using all sorts of natural materials from onion skin, leaves, feathers, seedheads, etc. Jackie will bring materials but you might like to bring some things of your own along – anything you think might have an interesting texture to print with (that you don’t mind getting covered in ink) e.g. Leaves, feathers, dried plants, feathers, small teasel heads. Plant materials do need to be dry (not green) as the press will find and push out any sap.
ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED

Refund Policy:
If you are unable to attend the TAG workshop for which you had paid in advance, we regret to inform you that it is not our policy to refund workshop places. If there is an opportunity to resell the place to another participant we will attempt to do so. Only when the whole workshop is cancelled will participants be refunded as there is no cost to the group from the tutor.
