The Chapel at St. Joseph’s College is a most special place, and has been central to College life since its dedication in 1967. Yet this beautiful building has remained largely unknown to the wider community. This talk will explain why the Chapel was built, the thinking behind the design and why it takes the final form it does. Unfortunately, it is currently at ‘risk’ having been closed for roof repairs since January 2017. After 50 years of service its story deserves to be told.

This workshop will explore the use of a wide range of media using dry brush, collage, stencils and other techniques, in different combinations, to create images with very different effects. Learn how to refine and enhance your skills, and how to exploit the potential and limitations of all kinds of art materials as they interact and react with each other. Demonstrations and prepared examples will introduce techniques and media and open tasks will help you explore your own picture making.
Suitable for all ability levels – these workshops introduce new methods each time so you can start at any point or build up on previous experience.
Please ask for the materials to bring list, some specialist materials will be provided and included in the price.
