Gordon Bain is an artist with a practice that has focused on the biosphere for the last thirty years – he exhibits widely, and has run workshops for both adults and children.

He paintings depict waterscapes and birds, using acrylic and graphite on board  - the robust nature of the board allows him to work onto and into the surface, and to layer texture and colour. 

​More recently there has been an exploration of 3D work, using plywood, found objects and a variety of fabrics.

votives - working with figures from an ancient world

In this workshop we’ll be referencing the votive figures of the ancient world  - using simple plywood bases, a wide range of fabrics and found objects you’ll construct and embellish a three dimensional votive figure.

During the course of the week you’ll develop and hone a unique visual vocabulary. 

Whether you favour a minimalist approach or the hyper–decorative, and whatever your skill set, you’ll have the opportunity to utilise found objects with a fresh eye, combine them with painting techniques such as resist work and sgraffito -  to layer, embellish and edit until a clear narrative emerges.

We are all makers and story tellers – I look forward to meeting you and working together.
