Jennie Hayes - Through an Aperture – Postcards from the edge - 1 Day Workshop
This course is suitable for both the beginner and experienced photographer. Using a digital camera, you will be taken out to capture images of life and the environment. Back at the studio you will work on these images, and images that Jennie provides, to create your own postcard record of your visit.
Jennie trained at Medway College of Design in advertising and editorial photography. She also studied with the Open University gaining an MA in Interdisciplinary Women’s Studies. Her academic career continued at Dartington College of Arts gaining an AHRC Research Fellowship from which developed a new undergraduate award in Community Practices on which she teaches. Jennie was a recipient of an Arts Council England award in 2006.
And, most recently, has completed a Foundation Course in Art Therapy .
Recent major projects include Women in Farming, a touring exhibition of six artists who spent a year in residence on Dartmoor Farms, commissioned by Aune Head Arts.

Richard Thorn – The Colour of Water – 1 day
Richard will guide you through working from an outline .Demonstrating his techniques of working with light on water.
Use ink & wash technique to establish composition and loose washes. This allows for a broad fresh approach that can achieve pleasing results and frees-up the style. I will also be concentrating on tone. If we have time for a more sustained painting , all well and good but I think these "preliminary" techniques are important and invaluable
Richard Thorn
Richard studied Art at Newton Abbot School of Art after leaving school. His love of watercolours was a natural progression from drawing and sketching which began at the age of 5. After many years pursuing a career in music Richard returned to Art and his native Devon in 1985. Since that time he has had many one man shows and mixed exhibitions. His work is regularly shown in Galleries in London, the South West and Home Counties. Richard’s early influences were the Impressionists and the work of American watercolourists Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Philip Jamesons and Andrew Wyeth. His strong distinctive style owes much to the exponents of the medium.
Jane Vaux – Sun, sand and sea – 1 day
Jane’s passion for the sea and the light, textures and colours that are created along the coast is the background for her workshop. The environment and wildness of nature, energize her paintings. Have some fun, you are allowed to play with paints!
Jane moved to Devon a year ago and is in a number of galleries and running small group art classes encouraging free style painting techniques. Her forte is enabling confidence and starting with the basics, demonstrating techniques letting the student go and explore with paint. Classes are kept small, there always comes a crisis point in a painting and she is there to catch you before you fall. You have permission to play and represent a general feel for the place rather than the detail.
Working mainly in Acrylics, and keen to incorporate other mediums especially charcoals. Jane has an established art class running, and enjoys teaching and demonstrating. She has undertaken a number of commissions in various subjects. Her work is on exhibition at Delamore Arts May 2008 She continues to grow in her work and become more recognised.
