The Process
Using oil paints and cotton cloth - the modern alternative to the edible ink and rice paper of yesteryear - you will follow in the footsteps of those fisherman and produce a series of unique and striking pieces of artwork. You will capture the incredible detail and intricate markings of beautiful Cornish fish, and have fun playing with different coastal objects handpicked and prepared by Susie. Fish, shells, feathers and other seashore gems found along the coast will be available, as well as the benefit of Susie’s exquisite experience in this rare and almost forgotten art form.
The Workshop
You will complete the fun and interactive workshop with your rubbings ready to frame or hang as beautiful additions to your home and being washable, you could even transform them into bags, lampshades or cushion covers. And that’s just for starters. Having mastered the skill, you’ll have the confidence to continue at home so the world really is your oyster!
