Beginners Art Course
Can't Draw - Won't Draw
The Boathouse - Buckle Point - Marine Parade Seaford
Limited spaces still available on our last session - Print Making Week Tuesday 1st April 10-1
£30 each BOOK HERE.
A beginners workshop to drawing for those who want to begin a new artistic journey or who might never have sketched before. We believe everyone can draw so whether you are just starting out, returning to art after many years without practice or have some art knowledge we will help you develop your skills and potential.
This is a 4 week course that will run on Tuesday mornings from 10-1pm in the spacious and light ‘Boat House' studio on the seafront in Seaford. Run by local artists Sally Elford and Tonwen Jones, both professional illustrators with a combined industry experience of 50 years! This course will look at mark making using different art materials, drawing from a still life arrangement in black and white and colour.
Then we'll experiment with some simple printmaking techniques such as mono-printing. At the end of the course, you will have started a sketchbook, created some larger pieces of work, met like-minded people and hopefully be full of inspiration to create more art!
The 4 week course is £100 in total and will include all materials, a sketchbook for you to fill and keep, along with drinks and light refreshments.
Thanks so much for visiting us during Artwave 2024. Another busy year!

Experimenting with different mediums is always a challenge especially when using acrylic, pastel, bleach, wax and charcoal together on one picture!
Sally Elford
New prints and collages. This year I enjoyed working in more traditional media - my prints and collages are all hand made and completely non-digital. I have loved creating different textures with ink, paint and print from which I then cut my pieces, resulting in simple compositions where the shapes and colours give impact.

Tonwen Jones (All Mapped Out)
Tonwen studied Illustration at Central Saint Martins and more recently completed her MA in Sequential Design & Illustration at Brighton University.
Tonwen works as a freelance illustrator and has recently moved to newhaven where she can see the ferries coming in and out of the harbour from her studio.
If she's not creating hand drawn maps, then she's creating collage work, often referencing her large collection of 50's magazines in which she searches for images, objects and textures to manipulate her surrealist creations, revealing her comical take on everyday life. She also likes to draw complex pattern motifs in ink or pen mixing styles and techniques.
