Lindsey is a well known environmental Cornish artist. As well as exhibiting her work, Lindsey will be offering:-
A talk and demonstration exploring the how she uses art to connect to nature – and how she uses litter from our landscape to drive forward the environmental message of climate change.
Art Masterclasses – on landscape coastal markings and their interpretation. Lindsey will lead you along the shoreline, investigating textures and applying new techniques to create a framed upcycled seascape background, to include sky, beach and ocean, with flora and fauna detailing. Please do bring along sponges, palette knives, and a selection of brushes to include a fan & wide brush for decorating.
The classes will last 90 mins – with no more than 4 people and cost £15 (- to include all materials). These sessions should be booked in advance. To do so, please use our ‘Contact Us’ feature – and state name / email – whether you are beginner / intermediate / advanced – and whether you wish to attend on Saturday or Sunday. Any payment will be taken on the day.
There will be various childrens art activities. On the theme ‘wild life garden’ :
Miles specialises in the Circus Clown because of his love of comedy and purely & simply, no one else paints them! His talent enables him to somehow capture their true pathos perfectly. His preferred medium is watercolour and he uses fine-tipped fibre pens for his Pointillism Art.
Miles will also be demonstrating the pointillism technique in a talk at 3pm.
Local artists will be exhibiting a wide range of artwork – much of which takes the natural world as it’s inspiration.
Local school children are asked to create their own artwork on the theme ‘The Garden’. They can choose any medium in which to work. There are three ages groups – up to 7 years / 7 to 14 years / 14 to 18 years. There are prizes for each age group so the winners can select art materials – 1st £50 – 2nd £30 – 3rd £20.
The competition is being run in conjunction with local schools – who are asked to submit the artwork by 12th May. The artworks will be judged by well know professional artist, Lindsey Keats – and prizes will be presented at 3.30 on Sunday 22nd. The children’s art will be displayed at the Garden Festival on both Saturday and Sunday. After the prize presentations, the children may take their artworks home – otherwise, they will be returned via their schools.
