Jane McCall Lampshade Painting Workshop
About the event
Led by artist Jane McCall from Bloomsbury Revisited, join this lampshade painting workshop inspired by the work of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant
Join artist Jane McCall for a one-day workshop celebrating the bold decorative vision of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Inspired by the artists' approach to colour, pattern, and painted interiors, this workshop invites you to transform a handmade lampshade into a unique work of art.Beginning with an introduction to the exhibition, you will explore the distinctive visual language of Bell and Grant, exploring their use of composition, light, colour, and ornament. Back in the studio, Jane will guide you through a series of creative exercises before demonstrating techniques for painting directly onto a handmade lampshade using chalk paints.You will be encouraged to experiment, develop your own ideas, and enjoy the creative process in a welcoming and supportive environment.Suitable for all levels of experience, this workshop offers the opportunity to discover new techniques, gain fresh creative inspiration, and leave with a beautifully hand-painted lampshade that reflects your own artistic vision.All materials are provided. We recommend bringing an apron or wearing clothing suitable for painting.
