School Holiday Art Classes To celebrate our Sculpture Festival in April, the school holiday programme will promote all things Sculptural. This is not necessary sculpture in the traditional sense either. Children will create their own sculptures out of ceramic clay, cardboard, recycled materials, tin cans, plastic bottles and items from nature like driftwood, stones and shells as well as adding 3D effects to paintings and drawings. Brochure and timetable available mid March.

Joanne Mortimore Joanne started painting in watercolours in earnest after being made redundant from her job in 1996. She was first taught techniques and the use of colour washes. by Derek Newton and later went to classes with Brian Millard. As Joanne became more confident she held her first art show in the garden at home along with some friends who also enjoyed painting. It was most successful and each November thereafter if it was possible they had an art show and sale at the same venue. Joanne started teaching at Lake House Arts Centre three years ago. Her eight week course covers drawing and watercolour painting techniques. Her paintings are in private collections in the UK Japan and Canada as well as New Zealand.

Our First Raku Firing at Lake House Tuesday 1 September What an exciting evening on Tuesday. Our clay tutor Bill Hayes built a mobile raku kiln from a drum using fireproof bricks at the base. Pieces are loaded onto the bricks and the lid of the kiln is lowered over them. Two gas bottles with gas torches attached are used to heat the kiln. After about an hour the lid is lifted to reveal glowing hot pots. The pots are carefully lifted out and rolled into a metal container full of sawdust or leaves and quickly covered up as they immediately set the sawdust on fire. After a few minutes the pots are taken from the sawdust and quenched in water. This process was repeated a couple of times. A very successful first firing!
