Hilary, whose work is collected and commissioned worldwide including the National Portrait Gallery in London, uses etching, paintings, ceramics, and sculptures to articulate how all bodies leave visible traces of their interrelation within an environment.
Foundry Artists are based in Hilary’s 300 year old studio that was once a Brass Foundry in the beautiful grounds of Bewdley Museum.
Teaching creativity has always been part of Hilary’s life both working with children and adults, and she has always been keen to share her wide range of skills with others.
Please see Hilary’s website www.hilaryjbaker.com to find out more.
The workshops are informative and practical where artists develop their skills in a wide range of media that includes drawing, painting, print making, ceramics and sculpture. Professional artists are invited to exhibit and share their skills with artists during workshops and we have ongoing exhibitions, community activities and social events throughout the year.
Why not join us by giving a workshop a try? We are a friendly and encouraging group and always welcome new artists of every experience and ability! Or send us an email at foundryartists@gmail.com.
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.
Artists repeat visual elements to create patterns, rhythm or emphasise a concept.
Islamic art and Op Art often use mathematical multiplications and repeated geometric shapes to create complex visual designs.
Techniques such as printmaking allow artists to create multiple identical or slightly varied copies of an artwork.
We shall focus on multiples over the next four workshops, beginning with the power of repeating patterns and learning about artists who used them. Then, we shall use printmaking to make multiple prints using lino and collagraph. Finally, we shall use a single repeating image, a la Warhol. It’s all very exciting!
