PICTISH STONE DRAWING
Looking at images of pictish stones, we will explore surfaces, textures and ancient imagery, we will be making drawings based on Pictish stones, thinking about carving and experimental drawing techniques
We will start by collecting textures by making rubbings using the graphite frottage technique, of surfaces in the room and outside to explore experimental ways of making a graphite drawing. We will then learn to make free-hand 'drawings' out of card, using scissors. Placing these under sheets of paper and on textured surfaces, we will begin to build up a sense of drawing on rock to each produce a standing stone drawing.
Please note, these workshops will need a minimum of 6 attendees to run. If the minimum subscription is not reached, the class will unfortunately not go ahead.
