In this morning workshop you will make stunning silver jewellery from a real leaf. Gather your own leaf from the Westhope garden, or bring in one that means something to you for turning into a solid silver replica.

Using the silver clay paste, we will paint layers onto the leaf to build it up, then fire it to turn it into solid silver. The detail of the finished silver leaves is fantastic, retaining all of the character
of the original.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who already have experience with silver clay.

All materials to make one silver piece are included in the workshop fee. Silver chains are available from £6 extra, payable to the tutor on the day.

Using a mixture of indoor presentations and outdoor demonstrations you will learn how to grow salad crops throughout the whole year, including the depths of winter, using greenhouse, tunnel or homemade cover.

Throughout the day we will:
• Look at how to give winter salads a bit of protection: using homemade frames, bought cloches, repurposed bottles, or, if you’re very lucky - a greenhouse/polytunnel.
• Explore a huge range of salads, leaves and some plant species that you may never have come across: the best varieties for summer growing and the varieties that will tolerate the cold and keep producing all winter.
• Think about the planning calendar: It’s all in the planning when it comes to getting salads every day! You will make your own planning calendar to grow throughout the year according to your conditions.

You will take home lots of information and ideas, a few of the best seeds to start with, some sown seeds to grow on at home ready for planting out and plans for a cloche or frame for winter protection.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners or those with some gardening experience who would like some encouragement or fresh inspiration.

Roll up and discover the exciting possibilities of this versatile print medium. The coated drypoint card can be incised, cut, torn, crumpled and punched with tools to make an extensive variety of marks. Unlike lino, it can easily be cut into a variety of shapes and works equally well with intaglio printing (the ink sits in your incised marks) as relief printing (the ink sits on the surface leaving your marks white).

Working in monochrome you can build an image with background, scattered shapes or atmospheric plate-tone (ink on the surface can be left in areas or smudged away).

A workshop for both beginners and experienced artists, the tutor will encourage individual projects; you might experiment with diverse techniques or work on illustrative, decorative or abstract imagery to create unique prints. There will be lots of visual inspiration to help your creativity flow.

Collagraph loosely means a print made from a collage. Experiment with a variety of materials to glue onto a printing plate, usually a piece of card or board which you seal before using it to print. Different materials can be used including paper, paper tape, wood, plastic tape and fabric. Layers of adhesives can also be used such as PVA glue, varnish, and gesso to create mark making. These collagraph plates are then inked up and printed onto paper using a small etching press.

We will then add colour to our plates and prints using Chine Collé. Chine Collé is a technique whereby we add glue to thin papers such as tissue paper or Japanese paper and this is sandwiched between the printing paper and the printed image. This added layer of colour becomes integral to the print.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners as well as those who want to improve their skills, or just have a play with printmaking.

Spend a day making a lovely simple Merchant & Mills shift dress in lightweight denim.

The 'Camber Set' is a short sleeved shift dress that can be worn alone as a summer dress, or over a blouse or jumper for the colder months. The pattern can also be used to make a simple top rather than a dress.

You will learn how to cut out the 'Camber Set' paper pattern and sew it together. This will involve different seam finishings, sewing darts, sewing with bias binding, putting in a sleeve, and creating hems. There are no zips or buttons in this pattern, it pulls over your head.

This workshop is a great opportunity to have a go at dressmaking if you've never done it before, or for more experienced makers to create a lovely garment for themselves or as a gift for someone else. You will take away your own dress and a copy of the pattern that you can use
again.

All fabric, threads, and a pattern in your chosen size to keep as well as a light lunch and refreshments are included in the workshop fee. You will need to bring your own sewing machine, scissors and measuring tape with you.
