Please call or email me to discuss details; if anything is unclear or there appears to be a mistake! please contact me. The next School Holiday Programme for Children has now been added for 2012. Due to numerous requests I have added a class for teenagers called Drawing and Painting for Teenagers to the holiday programme; we can taking bookings now for all next holiday courses, have a look at the programme. Our School Holiday Programme caters to 6 - 12 year olds while the Painting and Drawing for Teenagers caters to teenagers.
Please note some changes for Term 2:
Janice Kingston is not taking any classes this term; she will be back for term 3.
Basia's Printmaking class has moved from Wednesday Morning to Friday Morning for this term; the Open Studio print on Fridays has moved to Wednesday Morning; the Monday Open Studio print runs as usual.
I have programmed a Painting Open Studio for Friday Mornings.
Making the standing figure in clay
Tutor: Sarah Brock
Using paperclay this course will show the techniques of making a standing figure. This is a unique process which defies some traditional ceramic thinking, because paperclay has specific properties which using specific
techniques make it possible. Over the 8 (10?) weeks of the course you will first design a pose – standing, sitting, walking etc. Making sketches then developing the figure from there. We will build the figure up studying
anatomy and muscular structure, so by the end you will have a far greater understanding of how the human figure is put together. Clothing and hair can be added. The pieces will be bisque fired, and the figures will be painted and finished by the end of the course.

Sarah Brock
Sarah has been tutoring art for the last three years in Nelson, where she has a very loyal student following. She teaches the traditional skills of drawing, painting, preparing canvases and a variety of Renaissance and Contemporary painting techniques, as well as far less traditional techniques of sculpture using the unique qualities of paper clay. Her passion is to explore the huge variety of techniques there are in historical art processes and applying them with her students within a contemporary context to discover which best suit their developing art practice, believing that having the knowledge and experience of this variety of techniques in ones 'toolbox' leads to much more competent self expression in the long run.
Sarah has been a full time artist since 2005, having a portrait touring the country as a finalist in the 2010 Adam Portrait Awards, work selected for the Peter Doig Art Awards amongst a number of others. She sells sculptural work through galleries in Nelson and Wellington, as well as having them sold through the NZ Art Show 2011, and the 'Gift' exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts, Wellington. Her portraits are either drawn in pastel or painted in oil, her customers come from many countries in the world.
Previous to her art career Sarah was an IT Project Manager, and a Graphic Designer. Her move to full time art being a reaction to the changes in the world of design that removed all the drawing materials from the studio and replaced them with computers.
The following link is to the work in her November 2011 student exhibition http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150489924452009.429233.515577008&type=1&l=9e9b2f9a6e There were 99 pieces of work in the exhibition, some from students who have worked with her for more than 2 years, others who have only been attending her classes for a few weeks. The quality of the artwork speaks for itself.
