Saturday Studio 2025 @pitchblue

Saturday Studio @pitchblue …  Book now for 2025 below!

The aim of Saturday Studio @pitchblue is to guide, support and give you the opportunity to practice and develop these skills as you progress as an artist, designer and maker.

Whether you are new to art and design, or have been experimenting with visual language for a while, these courses will help you to create unique and beautiful work, and enhance your creativity. 

Drawing on themes from a variety of creative disciplines, the sessions will guide you through a multi-sensory approach to art, craft, design and making, while building confidence in your visual style.

Who should take a course?

The courses are perfect for anyone who has an interest in art, craft and design, students who are looking to bolster a portfolio, or anyone who wants to learn and develop new art and design skills.

What we will cover

On this course we will be covering four important areas in art and design:

  • Research – primary, secondary and contextual sources
  • Record ideas – generate and develop ideas from observations and insights 
  • Experimenting – explore resources, media, materials, techniques and processes, reviewing and refining ideas as work develops
  • Realisation – refine ideas and produce a personal and resolved outcome

Each component of the course aims to develop your ability to generate and develop ideas for your practical work and to build contextual understanding from either a self-selected or negotiated focus. 

 

Course Outcomes

  • Develop an enhanced understanding of art, craft and design
  • Gain confidence in a range of fundamental techniques
  • You will improve and develop your own style
  • Learn how to source inspiration from your surroundings 
  • Experiment with materials and media
  • Use your designs to communicate emotions

Course Includes

  • Studio workshops
  • Live online sessions
  • Forums for support
