Tutored by Katie Sollohub
Learn to love the sketchbook in Springtime, to accept that anything can go in it, and that it is a moveable, changeable feast.
Have you ever been put off by the clean blank pages of a new sketchbook? Rather than treating the book page by page, we shall firstly deconstruct it, cut pages out, tear it up, fold it, make holes, pour ink, walk on it … thus, from the outset, dispelling any notions of preciousness.
Your sketchbook then becomes a non-linear, non-chronological space to record your ideas and observations whilst you walk around, indoors and outside, looking for anything that catches your eye. Explore the garden and Food Forest as your pages fill up with drawings, notes, collage and layers of mixed media.
No page needs to stay where it started. Every page can be moved and edited.
You’ll finish with a bulging sketchbook that can be enjoyed as an object in its own right, or that can provide inspiration for new work.
Goodbye to blank pages! Hello to rewilding!

Directions
If you use SatNav, please type in 'Creative Beings'.
Awliscombe is 2 miles northwest from Honiton on the A373. Coming from Honiton, in the middle of the village on your right side you'll see the Honiton Inn then Chinston Close then, 10 metres later, the sign for 'The Old Rectory'. (If you go too far then you’ll pass the new vicarage then the primary school.)
There is some parking on our drive. Alternatively, there are laybys just past our house (nearer the school) or the village car park (by the pub).
