Broadland Arts Centre
ANGELA DAMMERY NDD, ATC (Goldsmiths College), is the owner & resident painting tutor,who together with her experienced tutor team of internationally recognised specialists, has been providing positive inspirational teaching for quality courses at Broadland Arts Centre for the past 21 years. The Centre's enviable reputation for its congenial ambience and relaxed, friendly and stimulating environment has resulted in a large proportion of course participants returning year after year, or joining courses on the recommendation of others.
Either Angela or her Applied Arts assistant Kit Calladine personally supervises the courses, ensuring that all participants gain the maximum benefit from their experience and receive every care and attention during their visit.
DILHAM Dilham is a typical small rural Broadland waterside village, just 15 miles north east of the cathedral city of Norwich and 17 miles from Cromer on the North Norfolk Coast. The popular boating Centre of Wroxham, attractive market town of North Walsham and the rolling dunes and unspoilt sandy beaches of the east coast are all just 6 miles away. Temporary mooring space is available for your cruiser during your course at BAC's moorings opposite the Centre.
UNIQUE COURSES TO BAC - include Sailing/Painting cruises in UK, Classical Northern European oil painting, Medieval and Renaissance techniques of Fresco, Tempera and Verre É Glomisé (scraped and gilded glass). Angela's classic Edwardian motor launch "Golden Sunset" is also often used for short river trips to give participants a feel for the delights of this unique wetland area
ACCOMMODATION AT BROADLAND ARTS CENTRE On most courses, up to 5 participants can be comfortably and inexpensively accommodated at our Dilham School with bed and full English breakfast if required. All rooms have tea making facilities. There is also a comprehensive list, available on request or our website of recommended local B&B's, guest houses, 4 star hotels, self catering units and caravan parks, either in the village or nearby, from which visitors can make their own choice if preferred. Camper vans and tents can sometimes be accommodated in the grounds of The Old School, by prior arrangement and at moderate cost.
What's new ! We have made a number of changes to the layout of the brochure to bring it in line with the new 2010 Website. We already have our blog (search Google for Broadlandarts.blogspot) where we will keep you up to date until the new website is running. The layout of the brochure is changing and hopefully things will be easier to find.

Richard Bawden.
Richard Bawden Richard, a well known Suffolk printmaker, is a superb draughtsman whose energy and enthusiasm is infectious. He studied printmaking at the Royal College of Art and has had over fifty one-man exhibitions across this country and abroad. Richard has a natural sense of design, both formal and decorative. His commissions include murals, engraved glass, cast iron furniture and book illustrations. His work can be seen in the collections of the V&A Museum, London, The Tate Gallery, The Queen's private Collection and other public/private collections worldwide. Richard's expertise, experience and innovative approach to printmaking put him at the pinnacle of his profession. This coupled with his desire to impart information and skills, make these courses a must for any aspiring printmaker.
Intaglio Printmaking; With Mezzotint And Dry Point Techniques October; Sat 30th - Sun 31st PT/RBA/04 - £195
A new printmaking course with one of the UK's foremost printmakers. Richard's expertise and enthusiasm will inspire the beginner and experienced printmaker to reach new design heights. Drypoint is a direct and straightforward method of engraving a rich line onto a copper or Perspex plate; shading and tone can then be created with cross hatching or mezzotint. Students will be encouraged to develop prints with varied textures and effects, using one or more colours. No experience is necessary; some sketch book ideas, or images to work from, could be helpful.
Using combinations of soluble fabrics and hand and machine stitches, you will be shown how to create a cloth which captures the essence of landscape features. Composition, colour texture and pattern will be considered and exploited to best advantage. The use of an embellishing machine may be appropriate in some instances. We hope that Coats UK will again be sending us some threads with which to experiment.
In three days you will be able to design, cut and print at least one piece of work in one or more colours, depending on size and complexity. This course is suitable for all levels of ability from the complete beginner to the more adventurous and imaginative printmaker. With Richard's constant encouragement and guidance, beginners will be taken step by step through every process, and the more experienced printmaker will be urged to experiment with new techniques and to widen their design horizons.
Jan originally trained as a painter but switched to textile art. She is a highly talented and innovative practitioner who inspires all whom she teaches to explore and develop their creativity. Her ability to manipulate threads and fabrics using both traditional and new techniques has made her courses and lectures much sought after both in this country and all over the world.

Together with Jean Littlejohn she founded Double Trouble Enterprises through which they publish their own authoritative books and DVD's which have become classics in their field. In 2006 on the centenary of the Embroiderers Guild Jan together with Jean were jointly presented with the “Best Teacher Award”, a highly deserved accolade. Jan is a member of the '62 group of textile artists and her work forms part of public and private collections throughout the world.
William Calladine William, is an exceptional artist and fine exponent of the Classical Northern European style of oil painting, using materials and techniques which have changed little since the Dutch masters, Vermeer, Rembrandt, De Hooch and Steen perfected the art of painting in oil in the 17th century. William studied abroad in the Classical Dutch style under the celebrated Classical Dutch painter, Jan Everson in Holland. His knowledge, love and enthusiasm for this medium and painting style are unequalled. He will enthuse everyone, from the improver to experienced artist to reach new heights in oil painting prowess, made possible by his natural aptitude and enthusiasm for freely imparting this knowledge. William is currently President of the Guild of Norwich Painters.
Classical painting techniques of the `Old Masters' laid bare. Nowhere else will you find this three part series which makes an in-depth practical investigation into the world and craftsmanship of the great Masters of Classical European oil painting. Make and use the same materials and learn the techniques of Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer and the 17th century masters of still life. Discover how they used the Camera Obscura and Camera Lucida to achieve accurate perspectives and proportions. Learn to paint the bloom on a grape, silks, lace, flesh and shiny metals. Yes you can do it with the help of our exceptional internationally renowned professional painting tutor William Calladine.
Drawing Reality July; Sat 31st - Sun 1st Aug DP/WCA/04 - £180
This extremely popular second part of our unique 3 part series of oil painting in the style of the Old Masters continues to attract interest from all over the world. If you have not worked in these techniques before you will need to join Part 1, in August before taking parts 2 or 3 the following year.
This Classical European oil painting series culminates in Part 3 when what has been learnt from Parts 1 and 2 allows students to forge their own style and work from personal subject matter. This unique course over the past nine years has attracted worldwide interest and resulted in a number of gifted students exhibiting and selling in the RA Summer Show and elsewhere and gaining membership to prestigious societies such as the Feline Society, Royal Society of Marine Artists, Royal Society of Women Artists and more. William is an outstanding tutor whose work is of international stature in this traditional oil painting method as used by the 17th century Dutch Masters.
A time to get to grips with the basic laws of perspective and proportion for the artist and an ideal drawing primer for those joining any of the three 'Painting Reality' courses, or anyone who needs to strengthen and develop their drawing skills.
