July 11th, 2018 Bermuda Calendar Update
Morning Troops!
Here is your weekly update with all of the latest events that have been added to the Bermuda Calendar since last week. As always, be sure to check out the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of this post for a full list of all upcoming events, including those covered in previous posts.
Masterworks invites you to explore, expand and enrich your talents at the Adult Art Workshops with Emma Ingham starting on Tuesday, July 10th.
To be held from 10.30am until 1pm at Masterworks, this is the first workshop in a series that will offer sketching, drawing, watercolours and mixed media. Come and join Emma Ingham for what promises to be a fascinating and informative journey. Participants should have some drawing experience and a positive, “can do” attitude with a desire to follow challenging new ideas, get down to basics, deepen a practice or skill, or venture into uncharted territory.
To begin, leave your pencils and old ideas behind. First you will concentrate on gaining a fundamental understanding of the principles of drawing. The goal is to compose, design and translate subjects to paper, canvas or board. Once you have mastered the basics you can practice and develop your newfound skills, then you can execute finished drawings, illustrations or paintings.
Classes include a coffee break and will continue weekly until August 14th.
The cost is $450 for members, or $510 for non-members and materials will
be provided. Space is limited so you are encouraged to sign up early to avoid disappointment.
For more information contact Masterworks at mworks@logic.bm or call 299-4000.
