April Art Club Replay

These are free, playful and fun art sessions. Each month I choose a theme or material I want to play around with and you can either join in, or go off-piste, and do your own thing. I might spend a session playing with wet textures, playing around with how things bleed, mix together, blend. Other times I might grab a handful of random materials and play around with those together. All previous Art Play Dates are available as replays, and each new session adds to the back catalogue to watch and play along with.

Hello! I’m coming to you today with the replay from last week’s Art Club. This month I set up a full still life with a banana, satsumas, flowers and even a fennel bulb, and of course, not forgetting my new ceramic figurine!

This is what I created… Not quite finished, and I dismantled it in a studio tidy zone, so I can’t finish it!

I think it’s actually ideal for a replay, because you can take the time you want - although I encourage you to make a little bit of haste and speed your friend, and help you stay in a light, not over-thinking spirit!

I mentioned last week that I have started a dedicated Art Club Originals shop page, which I will add to each month. You can browse and purchase here. I haven’t added this week’s as it feels quite unfinished, but let me know if you’re interested and we can discuss.

I also mentioned in the video that I wanted to make Art Club weekly for a bit. Given that it’s taken me a week to post the replay, I’m thinking bi-weekly is probably more realistic. So pencil in next Tuesday 22nd at lunchtime BST and I’ll message to confirm asap!

I hope you enjoy! Until next time…
