Followings very successful workshops in the past, we are delighted to welcome back Jenny Matthews RSW for a one-day workshop called Spring Flowers in Watercolour. Jenny is one of Scotland’s foremost watercolour specialists in botanical subjects. Trained at Edinburgh College of Art in Drawing and Painting, including a period tutored by Elizabeth Blackadder, she has been a professional artist for 30 years and has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad. Be inspired by her wonderful work at www.jennymatthews.co.uk The workshop will encourage you to explore watercolour as a descriptive medium whilst also enjoying its expressive and abstract qualities, pushing some boundaries and extending your use of the medium. The timing of the workshop means that spring flowers will be abounding, either in the garden adjacent to the Arthouse and also with cut specimens. If the weather behaves, you may enjoy working both outdoors and indoors - a wonderful start to your summer artwork. Jenny will give demonstrations of the techniques she uses in her flower paintings: both her detailed work, and her broader, looser approach. She will also give some useful insights into how to draw flowers and leaves which will help to create convincing finished pieces. She will draw your attention to the work of other artists and set you on a wonderful journey of exploration, in excellent creative company. Some materials will be available for use or to buy.

We welcome back Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw who will guide through another weekend of printing with natural materials - this time on fabric. The process of Botanical Printing is the sustainable technique of creating prints by using plants essentially as a source of colour. With the help of heat and humidity you transfer the colour on to fiber to create unique designs. Elisabeth Viguie Culshaw is a highly successful and original Botanical Printer based in Glasgow. You can see examples of her amazing work on her Instagram page . She is creator of #thetruecolourofthecotinus , a method that allows Cotinus leaves to get printed onto fibre giving a beautiful blue print. During our week-end workshop Elisabeth will be sharing with you her Botanical printing methods and tips to allow you to print on both cellulose and silk fabric towards samples for Art projects. We will not be able to tackle large size prints but Elisabeth will share tips on how to upscale your work and will offer the option of upcycling a small item of clothing you would have brought along such as tee shirt/scarf in an immersion pot. During the two days you will forage for plants, learn how to select and prepare fibre and dyes, print, neutralise, finish and on Sunday afternoon you will turn some of your finished prints using both immersion and steamed methods. Elisabeth will share with you basic knowledge about dyes and mordants allowing you to take this technique further and she will also share with you some instructions as an aide memoire for the future. As this workshop is taking place in the right season… you will incorporate Cotinus for beautiful blue prints and talk about the chemistry behind the blue print as long as leaves can be sourced. This workshop is very much perfect for any print addict, any textile lover, any beginner. and those of you who attended last June's workshop will be ableto extend your skills. All material is supplied for up to 6 samples but please bring a small item of clothing for upcycling and some snippets of material for you to try. if you have leaves you want to experiment with ditto. If you have a good tree guide, flower guide, leaves app on your phone, bring them along. Looking forward to printing with you! ABOUT THE ARTIST: Originally trained in stencil conservation in Glasgow by Christies and the University of Glasgow, Elisabeth shared a body of work with the Mackintosh Heritage until she decided to move back to her first love… natural colours. For over 10 years now she has been working with natural dyes exclusively, growing, using and teaching dye plants for colours. She grows a dye plant garden in the Glasgow Botanical Garden every summer #theindigoplot. She travels extensively to South East Asia every year to share her knowledge and educate herself on the subject of Indigo. Her current research is based on resist printing with Indigo and mordant experimenting for blue-prints. She runs a sustainable studio in the West end of Glasgow, teaches in person and online all year around. Information Source: Off The Rails Arthouse | eventbrite
