For a decade we have drawn, painted, printed, sculpted, experimented together from the historic studio in Bewdley museum.
Ten years gives us a very good reason to celebrate. Throughout our anniversary year we’ll be looking back at extraordinary artists, artworks, friendships, and experiences that have shaped Foundry Artists – while continuing to experiment with new ideas, materials and methods.
Expect 10 featured artists, 10 special events, visiting artists, exhibitions, life drawing, therapeutic art, new venues for workshops and lots of surprises along the way.
FA10 isn’t about looking back. It’s about what we make next.
Explore the relationship between the living body and the skeleton beneath it. These workshops invite you to observe, learn and draw from a life model and a life-size skeleton model.
You learn ten different ways of drawing, from Matisse’s economy of line to Van Gogh’s marks, Twombly’s rhythm and Uglow’s careful measuring. Stealing freely from the artists who changed how the rest of us see, you will build the confidence to draw with far more range and expression in your own work.
Therapeutic Art allows those on a weight loss journey to gain insight about themselves, their body, eating habits and their mindset around food.
Through seemingly simple mediums like paint or pencils, people can enhance emotional intelligence by using colours, shapes, and textures to give life to their inner narratives about their bodies and minds.
Express Yourself Continues!
After we exploded into action with Expressive Art earlier this term with landscapes, figures, and portraits, we are now continuing with abstract compositions, narratives and still life – learning new techniques, different materials and focusing on a wide variety of artists who make art full of expression, emotion, and atmosphere. At the end of this term you will plan and develop your own expressive artwork in the medium of your choice.
All workshops are suitable for any new and emerging artists who wish to push their techniques and imagery further and also for those who have more creative experience.
It’s never too late to become an artist!
Whether you are new to experimenting with art, a returning maker or an experienced artist, you’ll find a place at Foundry Artists.
Our workshops are about learning, experimenting, taking risks and developing your own visual language – in the company of other people who love making art.
Our 10th anniversary year is the perfect time to join us!
