2020 Weekend Workshops

2 Day Abstract Workshop

with Sue Meredith

Cost: $165

Note: This workshop is now full but there are a few places still available on the waitlist for a further weekend workshop in February or March - Dates TBA

Please contact Sue - or 0416 142 565

The aim of this workshop is to explore the fundamental approaches to making abstract art and to gain some understanding about the mystery of creating an abstract work. Through experimentation and practice you will develop your own personal vision, loosen up and have some fun creating your own abstract works.

We’ll look at ways of translating an image into something more abstract, as well as the idea of letting go of traditional visual references and subject matter.

We’ll consider techniques, conceptual elements, principles and elements of design, composition, gesture, mark-making, texture, layering, tone, colour and collage in creating an abstract artwork.

Sue Meredith is an artist and tutor at BDAS. She’s interested in painting, drawing, mixed media, colour and abstraction. She has recently had works on show at BDAS.

Abstraction, Colour & Acrylic Paint

Take a line for a walk

with Peter Griffen

7 & 8 March 2020 - From 9.30am till 4.30pm Studio 1

Cost: $210 BDAS members & $240 non members

Working in an abstract way from the imagination to start with, participants will experience total freedom in mark making, use of colour, texture and materials. Once this feeling of freedom is established, still life objects will be introduced.

Freedom to explore will be encouraged. Detail will not be an issue at first, instead, “take a line for a walk”. Discovery will come from experimentation. One aim is to become familiar with the still life objects and feel uninhibited in referring to them in drawing and painting. The other aim is to feel free to create images, which in themselves work in an abstract way and do not necessarily refer directly to any known subject matter.

Acrylic paint will be the main medium used but drawing, collaging, splashing, scraping, etc., and using any other materials will be encouraged.

Sculptural Felting 3D Vessels

with Denise Lithgow

7 & 8 March 2020 - From 9.30am till 4.30pm Studio 1

Cost: $200 BDAS members & $230 non members

Design and create a unique sculptural vessel using pure merino wool in this inspiring creative workshop.

Textile artist Denise Lithgow will guide you through the process of making and moulding felt into innovative forms and shapes. You’ll learn how to form shapes and translate these into three-dimensional non-functional vessels.

Enthusiasm and imagination are the best ingredients to bring along to this workshop.

In this workshop, a progressive range of skills will be developed, so that the participate feels confident designing their own range of felt vessels.

Collage and intuitive drawing as a design tool to create innovative forms

and designs in felt (no drawing skills are required).

Ways to form shapes and translate these into three dimensional shapes.

Using resists to take 2D into a 3D form.

Using surface decoration such as free form stitching into the felt surface to

enhance the pieces.

Participants will be challenged to play with their own designs using

sculptural felt techniques.

If you long to take your flat pieces of felt into another realm then this may just be the workshop for you.
