Roger Chan: ***** “A great place for both kids and adults …artist and non-artist. Both my kid and I missed Attic studio a lot (we have moved from Bangkok to Shanghai). We visited the studio again during a recent vacation. Both Elsie and Kat are still full of passion extracting the artistic side of everyone in their classes.”
Jenni Jones: ***** “Attic Studios is a great place for all, Elsie will bring out the inner artist in anyone!”
Date: 5th March 2010
Time: 7pm – midnight.
“The time has come,” the Walrus said….. for the Fourth First Friday.
On show will be photographs by Jackie Rado. Jackie is a portrait photographer based in Bangkok specialising in personally commissioned portraits of families, children, babies, maternity, as well as larger groups, celebrations and weddings. Her warmth and candid portrayal of the subject is also apparent in her travel photography, capturing a variety of individuals and events around Asia and further afield. Further, as a passionate and enthusiastic coach, Jackie teaches the theory and practice of phtoography in the classroom and outside on location.
Two Wednesdays ago, Attic started it’s first sculpture workshop with Gavin Fifield. The 6 day workshop was fully booked in a matter of days. So if you’re interested in the next session, please contact us asap to guarantee yourself a spot. Watch this space for dates and times.
Students started with building the human skull to understand it’s bone structure and how it dictates the shape of our heads and faces. After completing the skull, they began to add muscle in order to create features.
First Friday at Attic Studios has officially become the event of the month in Bangkok. People were spilling out onto the street!
Spanish on 4 by Tapas catered the event with delicious finger foods, while guests enjoyed live flamenco music from duo Benjamin and Jacopo as “Danca das Cabacas”. Upstairs was a hive of activity with all who were willing trying their hand at some life drawing of a nude model. Downstairs, Gavin Gough’s beautiful photographs lit up the room with their vibrant colours and pensive moods.

I know you’ve been itching for a First Friday since December last year, so you’ll be happy to hear our first F.F. of 2010 is approaching fast. As usual we’ll have food and drinks and a plethora of activity to feast your eyes on, including a bit of live music.
On display will be the ethnically vibrant photographs by Gavin Gough and various artists associated with Attic Studios.
Mid-Term break is approaching…which is a shocker considering I feel like the effects of the Christmas holidays are still wearing off.

I hope you all had a relaxing and fun-filled holiday. Attic is open and back in action for 2010. Classes are running as usual and we look forward to seeing you all in here as soon as possible.
A few anouncements:
A couple of weeks ago Elsie went on a head hunt and came back with two plaster cast heads…
Casts are a wonderful tool for drawing the human form and practicing the essential principles of shading and tonal value. It is a practice that has been used to teach drawing and painting since the 19th century, which focuses on mastering realism.
Drawing from the cast enables beginners to analyse shape and proportion, and to render the effects of light and shade without the complication of colour. It encourages a methodical approach from the start, and remains the best way to learn the ‘language’ of seeing.
