Get creative over Easter

There are lots of courses suitable for beginners, from pottery, mosaics or watercolour painting, to enamelling, making felt accessories or paper engineering for pop-up books.

Easter courses include:

Enamelling with small silkscreens, April 21–25, suitable for all. On this course you make silkscreen-printed images in coloured enamels. Beginning with a photocopied image of your own, you use a thermal imager to transfer it to a small screen. This will be used to print viscous acrylic enamels onto small pieces of copper or pre-enamelled surfaces which are then fired in a kiln. Tutor: Pat Johnson.

Pottery – hand building and throwing, April 21–25, suitable for all. Explore pottery at your own level and develop your skills and ideas with one-to-one tuition. Tutor: Alison Sandeman.

Watercolours for complete beginners, Apr 22–24, beginners. Watercolours are ideal for quick colour sketching. Using the West Dean landscape as your subject, learn brushstroke techniques, how to lay washes, identify and mix any colour with confidence. Tutor: Bridget Woods.

Woodturning bowls, April 22–25, intermediate. Tutor: Peter Clothier.

Mosaics for beginners and improvers, April 22–25, beginners/intermediate. Tutor: Martin Cheek.

Oil painting for beginners and improvers, April 22–25, beginners/intermediate. Tutor: Valerie Wiffen.
