Lettering & Typography Workshop, 19th May

NOW BOOKING!  There are limited spaces available so make sure you sign up now!

Practice different forms of precise and expressive lettering with Jack Rogers, Graphic Designer.

Information from the workshop leader:

“The workshop will have focus on typography and in particular hand rendered lettering. This is a huge subject and can cover anything from rigid letter press to free style graffiti. I will give a brief history and outline of typography and its various different artistic and commercial applications, then engage the participants in a number of activities that will teach them the proper language and terms used within type setting as well as encouraging them to explore the possibilities of hand rendered typography. I will encourage the participants to practice some precise calligraphic letting as well as some more messy expressive lettering using a variety of tools. I will then set an open task that enables them to explore and practice their chosen method or methods of lettering.

Participants are encouraged to have in mind a favourite word, quote or some song lyrics (1 or 2 lines max) they would like to use to create some typographic artwork.”

Jack Rogers is a graphic designer with an interest in typography living and working in Plymouth, UK.

Creative Writing workshop, 9th December

Experiment with different forms of writing and explore character and plot creation with Sophie Mellor, Artist.

Information from the workshop leader:

“A TV reality star US president tweets his policies from the White House. With the previously unbelievable becoming the #NewNormal is everything now real fiction?
In this creative writing session we’ll look at the mechanics of fiction (character, location, plot, conflict, resolution). We’ll experiment with different forms of creative writing from twitter to algorithms to Taylor Swift, via first, second and third person points of view, using music, paint and fortune cookies.”

Sophie Mellor is an artist who uses writing, amongst other things, in her art practice. Recent examples include a co-authored novel ‘Life Chances’ written with low income families in Bristol and Cardiff; a GPS triggered smartphone app short story ‘Here Comes Everybody’; and script writing for ‘Live Model’ a performative public information film exploring regulation.

Mobile Photography workshop, 18th November

NOW BOOKING!  There are limited spaces available so make sure you sign up now!

Learn how to find and take better photos with your phone camera with Peter Davey, Plymouth Based Artist & Lecturer.

Information from the workshop leader:

“I am interested in Street Photography and in shapes, forms, objects and people and the works of Keith Arnett, Robert Frank, Martin Parr and William Eggleston, and the notion of ideas that question Beauty and Art and capturing the moment. It’s the idea of play and wonder that shapes the everyday documenting the here and now
and its role in contemporary society that images are only just a reflected displacement of humanity in relationship to frozen clips. If you don’t capture the decisive moment there is every likely possibility that moment will be lost to space and time. Even then you never truly own anything as once you put your images out to the world online or in a gallery space you never truly own them again, as the viewer might know nothing about your own personal view of the image and will form their own interpretation of the image to create new identities, new narratives and that is the reality of street photography and any Art Form. The beauty of a phone in your pocket is the same idea of early photography, you can hide and blend into society looking for possibilities to capture and the images can be more raw and personal that you could not get on a bigger camera.”

Peter Davey is an artist and member of Wonderzoo, Flameworks, Timebank and Visual Arts Plymouth.
