I made this course on a grey afternoon.
Grasses I'd gathered from the shore still damp on my worktable. No plan. Just the paper, the materials, and the quiet.
This is what I want to share with you.

Some artwork stops you.
Â
Not because it's technically perfect, but because it feels like somewhere real.
Like you could step into it.
Like someone made it slowly, and meant every mark.
That's what this course is about learning to make.
You're probably not short of materials.
You might even have a sketchbook full of starts that never quite became something.
What's missing isn't a new technique. It's a way of working that lets everything come together, the marks, the layers, the quiet decisions, into something that feels whole.
That's what I've spent years learning.
And it's what I teach here.
Real-time.
 Real studio.
Real process.

Filmed in my Inverness studio from the first wash of ink to the final fold, nothing edited out, nothing sped up.
I want you to see how a piece actually comes to life.
Not just the confident moments, but the waiting, the looking, the small adjustments that change everything.
 We work on tea-stained paper with ink, charcoal, dip pen, pencil, and grasses gathered from the coast, building a surface that feels both found and made.
Then we fold it into a free-standing sculptural form you can hold, turn, and keep.
What you'll learn?
1. Tea-staining your paper - A quiet ritual before a single mark is made. How warmth and age enter a surface before the work even begins.
2. Building ink grounds that breathe - Letting ink find its own path across the page, creating a luminous base with atmosphere already held within it.
3. Working with charcoal, dip pen, and pencil together - How three very different tools create a surface with real range, without becoming overworked.
4. Printing with coastal grasses - The heart of this course. Not placing on top, but pressing into the layers, so the grasses feel like they grew there.
5. Creating rhythm through mark-making - How repetition, variation, and restraint build work that rewards slow looking.
6. Folding your piece into sculpture - Scoring, folding, and finishing so your artwork becomes an object. A small landscape you can hold.
Â
7. Knowing when to stop - Perhaps the hardest skill of all. How to read a surface and trust the moment it's complete.Â
