About the course
Mark making is simply the act of leaving a visible trace on a surface. This course is all about play, discovery and exploring different ways of making expressive lines and marks.
You will create your own set of mark making tools and experience the pleasure of finding unique marks that range from bold and dramatic to quiet and soft. .
Taking inspiration from calligraphy, text and asemic writing, you will also explore how you can combine different materials and surfaces to create exciting mark making combinations on both a small and large scale. Through working with both wet and dry media you will start to understand the possibilities and limitations of your tools and the nature of the marks they create.
During the course we will bring all your experiments together into a handmade sketchbook.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of ability. Enthusiasm and willingness to experiment are the most important requirements.
