Traditional canal arts and crafts

[kitman]

Thought this may be of interest to enthusiasts, we have some traditional canal arts and crafts courses coming up on the 7th and 8th of May.

 

Learn to paint Roses - May 8th - taught by Chris Weston

Learn to make rope fenders 7th and 8th May - taught by Phil English

 

The courses will be held at Stretton Wharf CV23 0PR, which is a real traditional working boatyard. You will get to take home what you make!

 

Pm me if you are interested and I will give you more details.

 

Cheers

 

Chris

Seriously, I've been in touch with Chris to wish him well and to offer some of the resources I have here from my days running courses. I've had a little input into his painting, a lettering weekend and an impromptu tutorial from the back of my car when I was at Brinklow for something else. He cares about the painting and getting it right, important qualifications in my book. Good luck Chris!

Thanks Dave, I very much appreciate the support, you have a talent for inspiring others about the folk art specific to English canals!

 

I look forward to bringing some of my historic pieces along for everyone to draw inspiration from, I always find that it helps to channel the spirit of the 'old masters' (so to speak! )
