Learning Room at the Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Kittie Jones is an award-winning artist based in Edinburgh. Her practice focuses on drawing and printmaking – she produces mixed media drawings on paper out in the landscape, unique multi-layered monotypes and small edition screen prints. Kittie is inspired by the full sensory experience of time spent outdoors, most often along the East coast of Scotland. Much of her work is completed outside and other sketches provide a starting point for prints and studio drawings. Alongside her work as an artist, Kittie teaches on the Portfolio Course at Bridge House Art in Ullapool over the winter and regularly delivers a variety of fine art workshops across Scotland and the north of England.
Kittie will present a short illustrated talk about her work before demonstrating how she works from the landscape in layers of colour using charcoal and pastel. Attendees will then be given the opportunity to have a go themselves with the materials and techniques used by the artist.
Please bring your own charcoal, soft pastels, a rubber and some paper to draw on. Kittie will provide any other materials needed.
