2017 Schedule for drawing classes at The Hearth


The Hearth Drawing Classes Schedule 2017


Adult Beginners - Wednesdays 18:30 - 20:30 R120 per lesson incl. materials
Adult Beginners - Fridays 10:30 - 12:30 R120 per lesson incl. materials
Adult Advanced - Tuesdays 9:00 - 11:30 R120 per lesson incl. materials


The beginners class:
No experience necessary, just have an interest in drawing or creativity of any kind. This class trains you to see, and to open the bridge between the seeing apparatus of the imagination and the drawing muscles of the hand/body. The class has already begun, however it is flexible to allow drop-in students to attend.
The advanced class: 
Some art-making or other experience working with the creative process is necessary. This class explores the definition of drawing through experimentation and conscious mark-making processes and exposes students to alternative mediums for drawing. Drop-ins welcome.

Some shots from the Adults Advanced class earlier this year - students had to find 'other' mediums to draw for e.g. teabags and soil, and then bring in more conventional mediums such as ink and pen:

The Hearth presents: FIRE!Feast in Chintsa East

To celebrate our new-found space and get the villagers out we threw a big fire-themed party last night.  There was live music from Jen Schneeburger, DJ Justin Salza and his lights and visuals, fire dancers, Emerald Vale spit braai and beer, Village Bistro sangria, a cake stall and mojitos on sale, face painter and other delights for the kids, and of course PLENTY of fire and lights. Entrance was free and there was no age restriction.  It was a great success.  These are some photos from the festivities:
