Inspired by light and movement, Jake's paintings are a reflection of the world around him.

Jake exhibits widely in the South of England and in 2004 was a finalist in the Daily Mail's 'Not The Turner Prize' competition. In 2007 his work was selected for the Royal Society of British Artists exhibition in The Mall Galleries, London, and from that time he has been contributing regular articles about his painting style for The Artist magazine. Jake has been the subject of three instructional DVD's by Townhouse Films: Watercolour from Dark to Light, Light and Movement in Watercolour and most recently Going Wild in Watercolour. Jake's book Light and Movement in Watercolour was first released in 2012.
Price: £45 for each workshop, or £90 for both. Those who stay for both workshops will be invited to join us for a delicious lunch.

GLASS FUSION WORKSHOP with LAURA BROOKS-PAYNE
Saturday 5th October 2024 at Little Berkhamsted
10am - 1pm
![Fused Glass Pics.jpg](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d4f06d_8594b3e9fb6d4c0682c1cb66df653b23~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_183,h_244,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/Fused%20Glass%20Pics.jpg)
This fun fused glass hanging panel workshop is ideal for both beginners and those who have dabbled a bit with fused glass previously.
You will learn about the art of glass fusing following a short tutorial on different glass types, an introduction to sheet glass, frit (crushed glass) and stringers (threads of glass). You will be able to use all of these to create a picture or an abstract design. You will practice how to cut glass safely.
Laura will guide you though the process step by step. You don't have to be creative to do this workshop, as the effects of the glass will do this for you! Your finished design will then need to go through the kiln, cool and will be ready for collection 7-10 days later.
The glass panels will come with a glass hanger and ribbon included in the price. Alternatively, you may wish to purchase a beautiful oak stand for your free standing panel, which is a small extra charge of £5, payable on the day. The oak stand shows off your work very well, but the choice is yours.
Price £65 includes a welcome cuppa, refreshments and cake, all materials and firing.
