About the Event
The short courses that she is running are for everyone apart from children, as the techniques are quite tough, and the inks are oily! So adults and young adults are invited to spend quality time for themselves, exploring either the basic techniques, or extending ideas and creativity further so that they can have something they’ve created themselves at the end of the two days.

Further Info

Jane Mowat studied Art History at the Courtauld Instute in London. This was an opportunity to study from the great Museums and Galleries of the Western world – an interest that she has carried with her since. She discovered her own methods for carving and printing, believing that being self –taught in this area allowed her a freedom and self expression that she might have found difficult if taught conventionally.

For the last 20 years she has lived in Somerset where she lectures part time and exhibits regularly in solo and group shows. She has also shown in the National Print exhibitions at the Mall Galleries in London, as well as the Royal Academies of Art in Bristol and London.

The short courses that she is running are for everyone apart from children, as the techniques are quite tough, and the inks are oily! So adults and young adults are invited to spend quality time for themselves, exploring either the basic techniques, or extending ideas and creativity further so that they can have something they’ve created themselves at the end of the two days.

  • First weekend – woodcarving
  • Second weekend – printmaking from woodcuts

Cost: £40 per person per day, or £65 for two people of the same household.

Two days are recommended as one day does not allow enough time to produce both the designs and images. Times – 11-4.

Bring your own lunch, but refreshments and cake provided!

Classes are small – maximum of 4 or 5 per day, so book early by sending £10 deposit per person.

Tools and materials are provided, but if you do have long-handled gouges or wooden mallets please bring them, as well as any interesting pieces of wood if you wish.
