WORKSHOP FIVE July 04-05, 2009 (SOLD OUT)
This last workshop in the series is slightly different. Instead of the multiple projects I usually bombard participants with, each person will be working on a single large collage/painting for the two
days. I’ll be teaching everything from starting techniques through the building and layering to the art of ending.

Collage July 28-29, 2009 (Note this is the only mid-week workshop.)
More than just a series of technique based exercises, this workshop is designed to look at the various ways in which art can both feed and even liberate. Using both paint and collage we’ll be digging around the roots of creative passion and hopefully having some laughs along the way.

Collage September 26-27, 2009
This workshop will focus on collage techniques, the layering of rich collaged artworks as well as examining the roots of creativity. It’s marginally preferable that you have had some experience in this field, though beginners will be able to participate without too much pain. As well as plenty of practical collage time, Nick will engage everyone in a variety of art discussions intended to provoke a better understanding of nature of art. We’ll also be covering ways to circumnavigate creative block.

Words and Images October 24-25, 2009
Slightly different from the collage classes, we’ll be focusing on both images and words. Nick will be discussing his mix of text and art and how they came together in his books.
You’ll be doing a mixture of art and writing, though Nick promises that neither will feel remotely like being at school! Without being ‘therapy’ there is inevitably a small degree of personal content to this workshop, so you will need to bring both your honesty and your sense of humour.

Masterclass November 21-22, 2009
Instead of the multiple projects I usually bombard participants with, each person will be working on a single large collage/painting for the two days. I’ll be teaching everything from starting techniques through the building and layering to the art of ending.
