Here are some observations from a few of our past workshops.
Dressed in her trademark colours of red, white and black, Rachel gave SLLA members a one day workshop on abstract designs and large letters using a flat brush. Starting with examples of her wonderful abstract designs, Rachel explained to participants how they would be using a minimal palette to create maximum effect in a piece of work.
Several lucky people enjoyed a workshop on how to bookbind a simple stab-bound sketchbook under the guidance of Sharon Shaw.
We learned how to bind single sheets together for a collection of sketches and colour trials. We began with a simple four-hole Japanese style binding and then adapted the method to create more elaborate sewing patterns.
