EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY
Higham Hall College Bassenthwaite Lake, Cockermouth, Cumbria, United Kingdom
Join me for this creative residential in the beautiful Lake District.
This course brings together aspects of creative writing and illustration to explore personal storytelling through pictures. In structured sessions, learn how to generate ideas and explore themes
through playful activities and short writing exercises. Discover how to use simple and expressive watercolour techniques, and to combine them with collage and other materials. We will also explore ways of working with found images using layering and tracing techniques. There will be opportunities to work from observation and your imagination as you develop your own visual storyteling style. No experience necessary – curiosity and a love of stories are the only ingredients needed. Colette will support you on your journey whatever your starting point. Book via Highham Hall

"I loved your class. I love your teaching style, so utterly competent yet
non threatening. Really helped allay my huge fears. I think you are very skilled at creating and leading a supportive safe group"
"I think you've really helped me to feel freer, far less precious or concerned with the outcome. It's been great to just dive in, become completely absorbed, then have the fun and excitement of seeing what ended up on my paper. I've been quite surprised that I've liked a lot of what I've produced, and seen it all as experiments, play and exploration rather than failures or disasters, which is how I would have looked at my scribblings once upon a time! I've really enjoyed the way you teach, your approach and the subject matter you choose"
"Thank you Colette for an absolutely lovely class. The pace was perfect. I learnt such a lot in two hours! It was so good to see my mother relax and we were were laughing together which was probably the first time since the beginning of lockdown. I know she loved it and I know what my next present will be to her. Another class!! We giggled all the way home!!"
