Art club with Chandos Atelier
What you'll do
Two hours of unbridled creativity awaits in this adult art experience for a small group of up to six people. Your Chandos Atelier host will be Emma, a Bristol artist who offers art and making experiences for all ages.
You’ll have a table full of materials to choose from and some tips and techniques from Emma, who has made props and costumes for over 20 years. What you make is completely up to you, and with so many materials to choose from you can allow your imagination and creativity to run wild, with lots of space to create in. You might choose to make outlandish costumes in miniature on wooden models, perhaps use wire and foam to sculpt tiny creatures, or choose wooden parts and a glue gun and just build build build.
There will be acrylic paint available if needed plus fabrics, leathers, beads, embellishments - pretty much any material you can think of, Emma has got it! Each month there will be a different set of things to explore - pouring plaster, wirework, silk painting, polymer clay - and always a chance to enjoy the process of letting your mind wander, and your hands explore. It’s time to make your own masterpiece!
