Drawing and Painting
Pat Barrow – Examples from students on the mixed media drawing and painting course.
Pat’s artistic range includes textile design, drawing, painting, ceramics and decoration. Her innovative approach to mixing media helps students develop new techniques and perfect their own style.
Etching and Printmaking
Below is an example of the wonderful prints produced by evening Printmaking students with tutor Anthony Anderson. Anthony paints prints and documents what is happening around him in various media and techniques.
Tony worked to create innovative projects for etching students to complete at home during spring 2021, when the Kentwood studio was inaccessible due to lockdown. From making prints in a pasta machine to layering prints and create collages, there is no end to Etching and Printmaking ingenuity at BAEC!
