Drawing Workshops with Diane Elliott
Amongst our exciting workshops we are lucky to have Diane Elliott's drawing workshops. Please find below all information about Diane, who is also the Developmental Manager of the Aberdeen Waldorf School.
Diane Elliott -
Qualified Instructor for 'Drawing From The Right Side Of The Brain'
I had founded a school in
Los Angeles (British American School) and was eager to find an excellent
drawing class for the students. I had read about the success of the Betty
Edwards drawing course and decided to try the course before introducing it
to the school.
I completed the course at OTIS
College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, and studied under Linda Jo
Russel, a member of the original group who developed the program with
Betty Edwards.
The drawing course is a
step-by-step process specifically designed for individuals who have
never drawn before. The fundamental premise is that anybody can learn
to draw really well if provided with the right guidance.
Throughout the process,
students develop their perceptual skills through exercised focusing on
contour, line, positive/negative, space, sighting and light/shadow
relationships.
I have delivered the course
to older children and adults over the past 3 years. Without exception,
everyone who has completed the course enjoys it and feels their drawing
skills have really improved.

Jane Ronie GLASS
Jane Ronie works with fused glass. She enjoys designing bold lines and colours that are enhanced by the light. The medium of glass lends itself to explore the context of colours and textures. Jane's wonderful artwork contains jewellery, pictures and large scale statement pieces.

Helen Stephen - Glass
Helen Stephen is working with fused glass. She produces jewellery, mirrors and pictures. Her wonderful glass pictures are made from layering the different coloured glass and 'paint' with glass frit (very small glass pieces) before fusing the picture. This technique lends itself to the creation of the beautiful Scottish landscape caught in Helen's glass pictures.

Furthermore again this year she will bring yarn in an abundance of colours and show visitors her amazing skills. Every day there will be workshops with Carol.

Robin Key of Clavis Jewellery
Exciting news today that one of Robin's specially commissioned brooches will be appearing in this new film release. This came about after an encounter with the client at last years NEOS.
He says:
'Last year during NEOS I was at the Waldorf when a gentleman called Richard Burke came to my stand and asked me if I could make a special brooch for a film that he had written and was going to produce in the NE. Long story short. The film was made and the trailer is now out. I am so proud to have played a little part of this amazing piece of art.'
