Contemporary Tie & Dye Art Understanding the Art of Adire as Civilization in Culture

From 15 C$ /h

Tie and dye is an ancient global form of art that originated independently across various cultures, with the earliest examples dating back to the 5th–8th century AD in China, Japan, Peru, and India. Known as a form of "resist dyeing," it involves binding or folding fabric to prevent dye from reaching certain areas. In the Southwestern area of Nigeria it is called - "ADIRE".

Every Art has its history - “Nothing exists without an origin”

Adire is more than just a textile; it's a reflection of Nigeria’s civilization and culture. Each design is a testament to the rich heritage of our culture and nation.

Here's a safe space to create, to get messy with paints, to bring out your inner child in colours! If art has always pulled you but you don't know where to start, this is for you. If you want to learn to appreciate and create, if you are looking to learn technique or simply to find a creative outlet, to feel destressed and joyful, this is for you.

Each class is tailor-made based on the needs and level the student is at. I teach all age-groups. There is no one-size-fits-all in art learning, and this class values your creative uniqueness. I work with the student to develop both technical and aesthetic aspects of art. From sketching, to painting, using various media including pencil, charcoal, pastel, water colours, acrylic and oil, you can learn it all in my classes.

Join my class to unfold the wings of your imagination, to find the freedom of an unbarred creative space, that challenges you to fly while gently guiding you in the right direction. Currently, I am open to both online and offline classes. If you want to expand your creative horizons with a professional's guidance, don't hesitate to drop a message!

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Crochet is a handicraft through which you can create many wonderful masterpieces, using a needle, thread and a set of rules that I will teach you.
These rules are easy and simple, they need you to focus and a lot of practice.
Crochet helps control anxiety, clears your mind and opens doors to a world full of geometric and color creations.

I have completed both Under-graduation and Post-graduation in Fine Arts and PG diploma in Pre&Primary teachers training. My careful preparation of lesson plans allowed me to break down complicated concepts to simple examples that the adult and young students could grasp, which was rewarding for both my students and for me. I always give my best by managing the difference of abilities among my students and tailoring the activities to maintain the interest level of students without any intimidation.

This combination of art and English class will help children explore their creative ability and, at the same time, gain new language skills.

We can discuss any medium you want your child to explore and I will create a suitable lesson for each class. Tailored classes with interesting artistic topics will provide extra motivation for students and encourage them to remember various information from the class.

Join me and get creative using different art techniques while you boost the English language!

*** I will provide materials for this class, but if you have a specific request that requires special equipment/materials please be ready to prepare/bring them to the class!
