The Sketchbook Course

The Sketchbook Course
5 Week Course

Thursdays 9.30am - 3pm
25th May, 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd June 2023


Tutor - Robin Wu
​£380




On this course we will be exploring all things sketchbooking! We will consider the potential of the sketchbook as a piece of artwork in its own right, through to using it as a powerful tool for recording, researching and developing ideas on location or in the studio. We will consider how the sketchbook as a creative space can free us up to play, experiment and take risks leading us to new and unexpected places - often acting as a springboard into other work.


Alongside venturing out into the local landscape to gather and create in our sketchbooks, we will look at practical tools such as making your own sketchbooks and concertinas, preparing surfaces, working with mixed media on location and at how to document the information you might need at a later stage in the studio. The course will take place on locations close to the art school and in the studios at Cockenzie House. 


There will be the opportunity to make some personal works as we take our sketchbooks back to the studio and look at developing them on into new pieces.
