Irene Sanderson
HANDS ON DEMONSTRATION CLUB NIGHT
'Dancing brushes and singing inks' using ink and washes
At this club night, Irene Sanderson will be giving both a talk and an opportunity to have hands on the materials she uses.
Irene, working as a graphic artist and typographer, travelled to Japan in the early ‘70s to study printmaking, but it was ink painting that stole her heart. “I love drawing, drawing with pencils, crayons, pens, charcoal. Drawing is an immediate hand eye thought connection as we see in the work of artists such as Tracey Emin, Sheila Fell and Frank Auerbach. Far Eastern ink and wash painting, working with brush on paper, loosens up this hand and mind coordination; the images in the mind are carried onto the absorbent paper by the action of the brush in a spontaneous way of painting. But it has its roots in a long tradition that paves a systematic approach.”
Irene will also give an introduction to this Far Eastern art form, with an outline of the history and the materials and techniques based on her experience of her studies in Japan, Korea and China, and her work today in her studio in the Eden Valley. During the evening there will be an opportunity to see and handle the materials. You are invited to bring materials you use in this art form that you think might be of interest to others. There will be the opportunity to copy a simple composition and take a walk into a landscape – all materials supplied.
Irene Sanderson will also be tutoring a workshop for PAC on Saturday 21st June 2025 at Langwathby village hall from 10 am to 4 pm on the very same subject. The cost to club members for the workshop is £34 and £44 to non-members. Booking for this is now open. All materials will be supplied and are included in the cost. We hope you will be able to join us for both events.
