Sidney Nolan Trust: Sculpture Programme Talks Jake Hobson: ‘The Art of Creative Pruning’ Thursday 7th March, 7pm Presteigne Assembly Rooms Combining technical skills, anecdotes and beautiful images, Jake Hobson gives a fresh perspective on pruning to inspire gardeners and artists alike. Using examples from around the world, he explores the connections between western topiary, Japanese cloud pruning, traditional woodcrafts, conceptual art and even agriculture. Jake studied sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, before winning a travel award to Japan, where he became obsessed with the way trees are pruned and shaped to fit into the garden. Time spent at a traditional tree nursery in Osaka laid the foundations for Jake's work now, a fusion of Japanese and western pruning styles that he calls Organic Topiary. “He approaches the subject with the eye of an artist” Anna Pavord “The European expert on Niwaki” Helena Attlee Tickets: £5 (students £3) from 01544 260149, info@sidneynolantrust.org.

Sidney Nolan Trust: Intaglio Printmaking Workshops 2013 Sunday 17 March, 10am-4pm Saturday 6 April, 10am-4pm Sunday 28 April, 10am-4pm Saturday 18 May, 10am-4pm Sidney Nolan Trust, The Rodd, Presteigne, LD8 2LL The Sidney Nolan Trust’s popular introductory fine art printmaking workshops begin on Sunday 17th March with an introduction to intaglio printmaking. The course, led by experienced tutor Mike Clements, is aimed at adults - artists and non-artists alike - who have always wanted to try fine art printmaking or who wish to refresh their knowledge. Traditional and contemporary methods of making fine art prints are taught using a modern portable etching press virtually identical to those in use for many centuries. Budding printmakers who hope eventually to become a regular user of the Sidney Nolan Trust print studio are strongly recommended to attend all four sessions, but newcomers who just wish to have a go are welcome at any workshop. The focus on Saturday 6th April will be ‘colour inking’, on Sunday 28th April the exciting techniques associated with ‘collagraph printmaking’ and on Saturday 18th May ‘embossed prints’. Course fee: £120 for all 4 days (3 days: £96; 2 days: £68; 1 day: £36). Advance booking is essential. The workshops take place at the Sidney Nolan Trust near Presteigne (half mile south towards Kington).
