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.
Over the next few weeks, we shall celebrate the arrival of spring! We shall explore the colours, vibrancy, and the newborn energy of spring in a wide range of media and areas of focus from landscapes painting to printmaking. Our final project will be clothes on a washing line utilising all the drapery rendering you have learnt!
During May we shall be exploring the human figure; life drawing and collage, portrait painting, groups of figures and composition, adding figures to artworks, and even figure sculpting!
Remember that Hilary will also be giving two Life Classes in St. George’s Hall, Bewdley, in conjunction with the Foundry Artists Exhibition during May 2024.
In addition to the Foundry Artists exhibition in St George’s Hall, Bewdley
Hilary Baker will be giving her popular Life Drawing Classes
Everyone welcome even beginners!
All materials and refreshments supplied
In these workshops we shall be putting sky and sea, or water, together in a single image. The tricky part is making it a complete picture with the light from the sky illuminating the sea or body of water. Great colour combinations can be used to show weather and atmospheric conditions and give drama to your landscapes.
