Drawing Beyond The Page: From 2D to 3D with Lorna McNeill
From 2D to 3D · Working with a Life Model · Inspired by the techniques of Auguste Rodin
Explore the human form through movement, drawing and sculpture as you take your drawings beyond the page and into 3D clay. Inspired by the expressive working methods of Auguste Rodin, we will explore how drawing can capture movement, energy and something of the essence of the figure, rather than simply recording what we see.
Working with a life model, we’ll begin with quick, expressive drawing exercises, including gestural and intuitive approaches inspired by Rodin’s approach. In the spirit of Rodin, we’ll then experiment with watercolour and expressive cut-outs before developing ideas into small clay sculptures.
The aim is not to produce one perfect drawing, but to follow your ideas and see what happens when you allow them to move naturally from one form into another. Through experimentation and play, you’ll be encouraged to develop greater freedom, curiosity and trust in your own creative process.
Beginners and experienced artists are welcome. No previous experience of sculpture is needed. Life model and all materials included. Please bring lunch.
This workshop is £100pp.

Colour Beyond The Canvas: From 2D to 3D with Lorna McNeill
From 2D to 3D · Working with a Life Model · Inspired by the techniques of Henri Matisse
Explore colour, movement, rhythm and expressive composition as you take your drawings beyond the canvas and into vibrant 3D relief compositions.
Inspired by the playful and adventurous approach of Henri Matisse, we will explore how colour can be used to create energy, movement and feeling. Working with a life model, we’ll begin with expressive drawing exercises exploring movement, rhythm and flowing line.
We’ll then move into colour, creating our own painted papers with inks and acrylics before cutting, arranging and reworking shapes into expressive compositions. Inspired by Matisse’s cut-outs, the process allows drawing to flow into colour, colour into shape, and shape into collage and three-dimensional relief form.
The aim is not to produce a particular kind of picture, but to follow the creative process and see where it takes you. Through experimentation and play, you’ll be encouraged to loosen up, discover new possibilities and develop a more intuitive and expressive way of working with colour.
Beginners and experienced artists are welcome. No previous experience of sculpture is needed. Life model and all materials included. Please bring lunch.

Human Form: From 2D to 3D with Lorna Carmen McNeill
Explore the human form through movement, drawing and sculpture.
Join us for a one-day immersive workshop that brings the figure to life - from felt experience to expressive drawing, before translating this in to clay.
The day will start on paper, Lorna will talk you through using a variety of different art materials to capture the essence, form and movement of the model, who will alternate between movement and stillness in the space. Halfway through the day, you’ll move to the medium of clay, and Lorna will guide you through shaping the model’s form, providing you with all of the knowledge you need to get started on your 3D journey.
This workshop offers a nurturing, playful space for relaxation, creative exploration, and renewed inspiration. No experience needed - just an open mind and a willingness to play.
All materials will be provided. Please wear clothes you wouldn’t mind getting ink/charcoal/etc on. The model will be clothed. Please bring your own lunch; beverages will be provided. Please note, the sculptures will be made with a type of air dry clay and won’t be fired; you’ll be able to take these home with you on the day.
This workshop is £90pp.
