Tuition Workshop - A walk through the Forest in Pastel with Tony Hogan
9th September
Nothing beats the colourful brilliance of pastels but they’re not the easiest medium to use. However you can now enjoy all the beauty of pastel in a convenient, non-messy form. Derwent woodcased Pastel Pencils have a soft, powdery texture which produces a velvety smooth finish, ideal for mixing and blending. And because they’re pencils, they’re clean and easy to control – although you may not be able to resist the occasional smudge with your finger!

Recognised for his stunning paintings and for his relaxed and easy way of teaching others, Tony Hogan has been artistically driven from his early childhood in Saltaire, Shipley. He regularly travels the length and breadth of the country giving workshops and demonstrations. His depth of knowledge of techniques and materials in all of the Derwent pencil products provide him with the skills to help and guide others along their artistic paths.

Workshops run between 10.30am – 4.30pm. £40 per person per workshop. A 10% discount is offered for any two or more workshops booked at any one time.

All materials for the day’s tuition are included in the cost of the workshop. Paper, pencils, fixing spray, brushes etc.., will all be provided per person. You will be working from a tin of 24 pencils, which will give you the opportunity to experiment with light, tone, and texture of the pencils.

A lunch break of 45 minutes will happen around 1pm. Where you will have the opportunity to take a complimentary visit around the Museum, visit the Derwent Retail shop selling the full range of Derwent Pencils, or visit the Museum Gallery.

Lunch can be purchased additionally from Sketchers Coffee Shop. Complimentary tea, coffee and Sticky Afternoon Treats will be served throughout the day.

Please call the Museum on 017687 73626 to book a place.
