Mixed Media: textures – March 2019
“Lets you focus on technique. Enjoyable weekend. Weird and wonderful materials.”

On a cold windy day when winter weather made a sudden return to Manchester, we took shelter in a cosy and warm studio while the windows were battered with snow, rain and hail. Students arrived excited, yet some felt a little apprehensive at the start of the course. They were welcomed with a warm smile, a friendly invite into the studio, and offered tea, coffee and chocolate biscuits with time to settle, meet other students, get comfortable and familiarise themselves with their new surroundings.
Read on to discover what the other students thought of the course.
