Updated info from Nadine:
The Masterclass philosophy is very much about "making do with what you have at hand"
Clean plastic waste materials I would recommend bringing some plastic water or soft drink bottles to reuse. Just things already in your environment that you can collect. 8-12 bottles would be ideal. Even if you don't use or drink from these yourself, see if your workplace, school or local park has waste bottles. These can be cleaned with bleach if needed. Opaque plastic tub and fairy lights Don't feel like you have to go out and buy a new tub and lights. If you have these on hand, that's great. I know lots of people use plastic tubs as storage containers and fairy lights as Christmas decorations. If not, I'll have some spare for people to share.
SESSION 2. 1pm-5pm

From these explorations in colour mixing, mark making and composition, participants are asked to develop and extend one of their images into a final composition on canvas by working over a painted ground. Discussions and developments of your ideas for your environmental painting can be shared collaboratively with the group during the workshop.
*Anthropocene Definition: According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the Anthropocene epoch is the “unofficial interval of geologic time, making up the third worldwide division of the Quaternary Period (2.6 million years ago to the present), characterized as the time in which the collective activities of human beings (homo sapiens) began to substantially alter Earth’s surface, atmosphere, oceans, and systems of nutrient cycling”. John Rafferty, “Anthropocene Epoch,” Encyclopedia Britannica, last updated 20 March 2020, www.britannica.com/science/Anthropocene-Epoch.
