Print a Tote Bag: linocut printing workshop with EJ Sparkles

Print a Tote Bag: linocut printing workshop with EJ Sparkles

Join us for a relaxed, fun and enjoyable afternoon at Conclave in our linocut printing workshop: print your own tote bag with EJ Sparkles in our lovely events space. Create a totally unique gift for yourself or someone else.

In this 3-and-a-half hour workshop, you will create a stamp using the linocut technique and then print onto a tote bag. There will also be a selection of ink colours to choose from.

Printmaker EJ Sparkles will guide you step-by-step through the process. You can draw your own design – bring an idea, or simply use one of the images provided (and there’s a gallery full of inspiration right here ready for you too!) This will be a small group workshop (limited to 10 participants) so you’ll be sure to get all the help and support you need.

At the end of the workshop, you will leave with a unique hand-printed item of your own making and the basic knowledge of the linocut process which can then be continued at home if you so wish (and use those skills to make some other unique Christmas cards and gifts)

We’ll provide you with a new cotton tote bag (your choice of natural cotton, or coloured cotton) and all the materials and inks you will need to create your masterpiece.

  • Refreshments provided
  • Maximum 10 people per class
  • Level: beginner and above
  • Ages: 16+ (we will be using sharp cutting equipment)
  • Cost: £34 standard (or grab an earlybird bargain for just £27 – order before 12th November)

Fluoro-Doodle-Decks: Skateboard Art Workshop (with Barrie J Davies)

Fluoro-Doodle-Decks: Skateboard Art Workshop (with Barrie J Davies)

Part of Conclave’s special week of events for DECK THE HALLS celebrating the archetypal symbol of urban street and youth culture: THE SKATEBOARD.

Alongside a group show from local artists showing their original (and limited-edition) artworks created on the humble skateboard deck, we are hosting a hands-on FLUORO DOODLE creative evening workshop in our basement events space in central Brighton (under the main gallery). This will be a fun, sociable, and hands-on creative event where you can get inspired, and get your hands on the decks…

We’ll give you the deck, and get doodling with…

Wednesday 7th December, 18:30-21:30

Our “Creative Deckmaster” for the night is Barrie J Davies, a Brighton-based urban contemporary pop artist. He makes fun paintings, prints and sculptures that have found their way into private and public collections nationally and worldwide. You can find out more about Barrie here.

He will help you find your inner master doodler, whilst giving you practical help, advice and inspiration to get you leaving the workshop with a fully-fledged, fluoro skate deck. We’ll be cracking open the paints, pens, spray-paints, stencils (and SMILES!) and you’ll be able to try different media and techniques on your own deck. Ask for help, or just crack-on with it over a drink or two (yes, there’s a bar!  🍺🥂🍹)

Fluoro-Doodle-Decks: Skateboard Art Workshop (with Barrie J Davies)

There are no rights or wrongs for this workshop – the only rule is to get involved and give it a go! Whether you’re a master draughtsman, or a complete beginner, we’ll get you trying out different doodle media, from pens and paintbrushes, to spray-paints and stencils. If you like it, TRY IT.  Barrie will be helping you along with hints and tips for how to create punchy, striking POP doodles on your skate deck, and the gallery upstairs is on hand to provide any extra inspiration you might need.

There will be fluoro. Lots of fluoro… 
We’ll be focussing on fluoro and bright, POP colours, but there will also be lots of other materials there to ensure you can create the effects you want to achieve with your deck doodles. BIG AND BLOCKY or small and detailed, we’ll have the tools for the job!

ALL MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT WILL BE PROVIDED (Including a new, full-sized blank skateboard deck for each participant)

You’re welcome to bring your own ideas and source materials (if there’s something in particular you fancy doing) or just come as you are, and we’ll load you up with ideas and options on the night!

As this is a hands-on workshop with paint and other mucky things, you might want to wear things you don’t mind getting dirty and painty!

CONCLAVE PRESENTS: Deck The Halls

Deck The Halls Show Poster (SQ)

Conclave presents

Deck The Halls
3rd – 11th December 2022

A Christmas show for people who don’t need more Christmas nonsense!

We’re super-excited to be hosting a special exhibition and mini-festival of events this December, celebrating the archetypal symbol of urban street and youth culture: THE SKATEBOARD.

This is no ordinary show of art on decks – we’ve thrown aside all the normal rules for decks being customised with urban street art, and opened up the platform to all our artists, so you’ll be seeing all sorts of styles, from painting and drawing, to screen-printing, carving, 3D modelling, collage, and – of course – the odd bit of spray-paint will be finding its way in there!

The group show features 40 original works from 20 of Conclave’s artists, including:
Barrie J Davies / Beav-Art / Cassette Lord / Daniel Mortimer Skinner / Dave Pop! / Emma Holmes / Godzuki / J David Bennett / Jarvis Weaver / John Lymer / Leo Kember / Michelle Mildenhall / Mypenleaks / Phil Lawson / Sfelez / Skatin Chinchilla / Tiffany Crisp / Twydall P / Vicky Gomez / Victoria Kaplan

Visit and get involved to inspire yourself / your kids / your inner kid / your ex-skateboarding self / your currently skateboarding-self…

YOU SEE IT

From spray-paint to sculpture, from collage to relief printing, there’s no limit to what our artists can do with their decks! A FREE exhibition of artworks will be running in our large basement exhibition space where you can feast your eyes on the creations of local artists in every medium you can imagine.

Some boards will be made to ride the streets, whereas some would test even the most experienced skater, but all of these will be looking great on our walls (or yours, if you can’t resist the urge to snap one up for your permanent enjoyment!)

The main exhibition will run from Saturday 3rd to Sunday 11th December,

EXHIBITION PREVIEW AND LAUNCH PARTY
Friday 2nd December, 18:00-22:30 – FREE
Be the first to see these exclusive new artworks, get to meet the artists, and enjoy a drink alongside music from our DJs playing on the other sort of decks…  More info here.

DOGTOWN AND Z-BOYS: Film Screening
Friday 9th December, 18:30-21:30 – FREE
This 2001 documentary film directed by Stacy Peralta explores the pioneering Zephyr skateboard team in the 1970s (of which Peralta was a member) and the evolving sport of skateboarding. Using a mix of film shot in the 1970s by Craig Stecyk of the Zephyr skateboard team (the Z-Boys of the title) alongside contemporary interviews, the documentary tells the story of a group of teenage surfer/skateboarders and their influence on the history of skateboarding culture. Winner of Best Director and Audience Choice awards at the Sundance Film Festival (amongst many others!)
More info here.

YOU DO IT

Skateboarding is one of the most enduring urban sports; a community activity open to all, where creativity and enthusiasm are celebrated just as much skill. It’s all about getting involved, and with this in mind, we’re holding a number of hands-on workshop events where you can get involved (without the risk of a broken ankle!!)

WE COLLABORATE

Conclave Brighton is proud to be working with the teachers and young people at Portslade Aldridge Community Academy (PACA) on their project “Board with Art“. 20 students are working to create skateboard artworks which will be exhibited at their school, with a winner specially selected by Conclave to exhibit in our gallery exhibition.

As an independent gallery and events space, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome: galleries are not just for those with money to burn, and a network of well-connected contacts! We want to celebrate art being for everyone, and that getting involved in creative activities will bring enrichment and benefits to everyone.

(Here’s hoping we get to see the work of the next generation’s Banksy!) 🎨
