I live in Keswick where the Derwent Pencil factory has been for many years and where the pencil as we know it was first invented and mass produced. The company now produces a whole range of graphite and coloured pencils and have asked me if I would like to do a couple of demonstration days for them in November and December this year. So I'm now playing around with some nice new sets of coloured pencils that I've been given to test out (watercolour pencils and inktense). It's great fun to be able to do this, and I am not only planning how to teach on those days, but I am also taking the opportunity to work on a new short online course for coloured pencils. This will add on to the end of the drawing course, or can be taken in isolation. So look out for this if you are interested, or even join in on one of the winter courses at the Pencil Museum in Keswick.
