Service Description
Thursday July 2nd to Thursday August 6th 4 - 5.15pm Zoom + Padlet. If you miss a session we will send you a follow up recording. Join artist and tutor Holly Haines as she delivers a 6 week online course inspired by the beautiful organic forms of our natural world: the shell. Shells come in many different forms, spirals, ovals, concave cups, knobbly bit, spikey bits, smooth and rough surface textures, reflective and matt exteriors... they offer us a multiplicity of drawing elements to practise on. Each week, students will study different types of shell in pencil (and watercolour if they wish), and use them as vehicles to explore the quality of their drawing, and develop skills in line, edge, transitions, background, foreground and how objects are placed within space. We have the physical shells with us in the studio, and they are SO beautiful. Some are even from Alicia's travels far far away in the South Pacific Ocean.....they are a precious collection. and we will share them with you over each lesson. With photos taken carefully of each shell under one light source, the 3 dimensional aspect will be obvious and clear to draw from. Students will be sent these images, that if they wish to delve deeper and draw more from the references throughout. the week, they can. By the end of this course, you will have 6 beautiful drawings of a range of shells, perhaps you will want to frame them! You will also have so much more if our online classes inspire you to study in your own time inbetween, or go to collect your own shells from the beaches in and around Edinburgh, or further afield if you are going abroad to sunny seaside destinations.

We are a small business and we depend on every booking to ensure that classes can go ahead. If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified. If you are missing a class because you suspect that you have developed Covid-19, please let us know immediately so that we can alert fellow student and tutors. Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
