Moray Art Centre’s new art class programme for this September to October features exciting new artists and craft makers.

This September , a Stained Glass artist from Tumbridge Wells, is teaching a 2 day workshop all about making your own Stained Glass. Parson’s work has featured on many TV prorammes and UK publications like ‘Home Front’, ‘Collectors Lot’ and ‘House and Garden’, ‘Sunday Times’ and ‘The Guardian’. She has also been commissioned by many organsiations and private clients to create her beautiful windows and is currently been commissioned by chef Marco White and to create a birthday piece for the famous wildlife artist David Shepherd. The course at Moray Art Centre will be for beginners and allow participants create their own work as well as have an understanding to take the art up as a hobby.

In October, Aberdeen born film maker Amy Hardie will be teaching a two day filmmaking course. Hardie is documentary director/producer with several international awards. She graduated from the National Film and Television School with the BP Expo award for best UK graduation film. Her most recent work is the feature documentary The Edge of Dreaming, which had its world premiere at the International Documentary Festival of Amsterdam and was screened on Channel 4 True Stories. Hardie who is now based in Edinburgh, will show participants on how to film events as they happen, so that they can become coherent stories.

Further on in the year Cawdor based candle maker from Coast Candles will be showing participants how to make wonderful smelling tea cup candles and silver smith Alan Baillie from Culloden will be teaching the art of silver raising to create a tumble cup.

As well these exciting new tutors all the usual classes will be running at the Centre, including the popular Saturday Art Studio for young people and life drawing classes.

Randy Klinger, Director of the Centre, said “Each term we try to find new artists and crafts makers to teach at Moray Art Centre and as well as visiting tutors we are really lucky that Moray has excellent practicing artists who are willing to pass on their knowledge. Even though we are not subsidised, we have tried to keep our class costs the same for the last 4 years! If there’s something you would like to learn then let us know.” All details about the programme, which starts from the first week in September, can be found on www.morayartcentre.org or email: info@morayartcentre.org
