Workshop Details

State of Play offers artistic mentoring designed so that each participant can develop their own sustainable practice all while creating a personal project throughout the year.

It interweaves three intersecting and interconnected lines of work:
Cultivating curiosity and visual appetite «eye-petite” training the gaze and visual literacy. Working with constellation research processes, from intuition to organisation.

Engaging in manual and artisanal practices enables us to 'think with our hands,' thereby opening pathways to forms of intuitive knowledge.By entering a 'creative trance,' one can generate rapid, nonjudgmental images through experimental techniques that embrace error and invite surprise.
Granting space and permission to experiment, the sketchbook becomes both a vessel for an artistic practice and a sanctuary for the creative journey.

Application form and course prospectus are available as downloads on the IAPMA website below and below.

Visual Haiku with Flax Fiber Collage with Jacqueline Mallegni
A contemplative three-day creative retreat exploring Wabi-Sabi and natural materials

“Wabi-Sabi,” the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence and simplicity, will guide our creative journey in this meditative, hands-on retreat.
Together, we’ll explore the poetic potential of flax fiber, handmade paper, and found natural materials — weaving them into tactile collages that evoke a personal sense of place and quiet reflection.

Through texture, tone, and mark-making, you’ll learn to express the essence of landscape and memory. Using flax roving, ink, and natural dyes, we’ll move gently between making, observing, and refining — letting material and intuition shape each composition

Workshop Initiator

Jane Ponsford

Workshop Details

A creative papermaking workshop inspired by the experimental and gestural marks J.M.W. Turner employed in his plein-air sketches and seascapes.

Join artist-papermaker Jane Ponsford to learn traditional papermaking techniques and create your own handmade linen and cotton rag paper. Experiment with delicate tints and dramatic sweeps of colour, using a colour pallette inspired by Impressions in Watercolour: J. M. W. Turner and his Contemporaries.

Participants can keep these sample sheets as they are or bind them together using a simple bookbinding technique to make their own book of skies.

During the course of the day, participants will discuss the types of paper that Turner and his contemporaries used and the watercolour pigments that were available at the time. This will be used as a background for our own creative responses.

The course will be restricted to 15 people and taught by demonstration and individual intuition.

Useful to Know
This is a hands-on workshop using paper pulp, water and paint so please wear practical clothing and bring an apron. You will be using A4 and also smaller or improvised moulds and deckles and vats of pulp to form our sheets of paper.

At the end of the day, you will be able to take your work home. This may still be damp so please bring plastic bags. Any leftover linen and cotton rag pulp can be taken home if you would like, so a 500ml jar or ziplock bag might be useful.

There will be an hour lunch break where you could book into our restaurant Light, visit one of the cafes near to Towner or bring a packed lunch to eat by the sea.

Accessibility
A budget is available to make this event as accessible as possible – this can include further interpretation services or other access arrangements we can meet to enable you to participate.
