Pim's Monday Drawing Class

On odd Mondays, Pim has a drawing group. As soon as the weather is good enough, they go outside to draw in nature, in villages or in other beautiful places with ruins or animals. And when the weather doesn't permit - Pim builds one of his fabulous still lives. Like last Monday. Look at this! It is so gorgeous (and makes your mouth water!)
 
 Of course the group totally enjoyed it as you can see:
They are drawing with colour pencil, which inspired the following excellent drawings:

Carol

Cryss

 Hélène

 Lucia

Peter

Nigel

 Suzanne

After seeing this, you may feel like joining this group - well, next session will be on Monday 13 March - feel free to pop in! More info via the Hangar Website

The results of the ceramic workshop

Look at the amazing pieces that came out of the kiln !

The first Sunday workshop Anitta taught the participants how to make pieces using the slab technique. T his is a technique where one uses a rolling pin - its just like baking. Afterwards the different pieces are cemented together with "glue" and a little bit of work to make sure that they don't come apart. They are left to dry for 2 weeks then fired in the kiln.

The second Sunday the pieces were glazed. Anitta came with recipes for matt and shiny finishes. Everyone could chose how to finish of their piece - and here you can see the results.

A collection of fun birds

The other piece that was made the first Sunday was a square pot. People started from the same patern - but the end results were very different. Some going for a totally matt finish - others opted for a shiny finish - and some for a mix.

Oh so different
Detailed pots
Rustic pots
And ..... the whole collection
