ABOUT THE COURSE
 
Title Random Bowls and Spheres with Anthea Naylor
Description

A day's workshop will introduce the participants to ways of constructing beautiful shapes but using a random weave technique. How to set the shape, how to chose materials and how to keep the shape growing and moving.  By the end of the day you will have created a beautiful bowl to fascinate or a sphere. One participant put a low power light in the sphere for a wonderful table lamp which throws out fantastic shadows. 

 


About the tutor
Anthea's geese and chicken are full of character. This time of year there are 1,000s of wild pink-footed geese on the fields - so I wonder what they will think of the arrival of some willow impersonators!   (Kate Sankey)
