Creative Practice Course 8

The tactile nature and organic feel of materials such as paper and card, ceramics and textiles, maintain the connection these have always had with human made artefacts, and hold a recognisable appeal as the basis for illustrations.

AOI members had the exclusive opportunity to explore these aspects by taking part in one of the four online sessions for the Handmade Illustration Season Creative Practice Course.

Our presenters are highly experienced illustrators creating artwork with a range of materials, combining ceramics with illustration, sculpting paper for a range of clients, making collaged images for publishing and forming textile pieces with a focus on research and exploring.

Watch the recordings of the exclusive members' Presentations and Q&A's and download the session briefs via the link buttons below the images.

The Creative Practice Course is hosted by illustrator Dave Bain.

Each session gave members the opportunity to respond to one of two briefs set by the session illustrator. We encouraged members to make up to 3 rough ideas from the brief to bring along to the session where they were able to discuss their ideas with fellow illustrators in an informal setting.

If you?re catching up on the session videos, why not have a go at one of the briefs as well? Send any illustrations [email protected]?as we?d love to see them!
