Jo is fascinated by ways in which we draw on the imaginations of past cultures and add our own ideas. She is also interested in beginning a drawing with no fixed end point in mind. Sometimes these intuitive drawings are resolved as abstract works or may develop into more tangible forms and creatures. The show features six such drawings which Jo thinks of as ‘Un-natural Histories’.
Private View: Sunday 6th March 3.00pm to 6.00pm
Meet the Artist/Family Event: Sunday 13th March 2.30pm to 4.30pm

With soft(chalk) pastel it is often ‘easier’ when you have ‘the right colour’ for a particular element in a composition, but there are ways of using blending and optical mixing, that can give exciting results. This workshop will provide a taster for a short course to be held in Spring 2016 which will go on to look at composing with colour in soft pastel.
