Lisa Fretwell
My name is Lisa E Fretwell. I have been teaching art, glass and textile techniques for over 20 years. In the past, I have exhibited my work in New York, had a touring exhibition around the UK, and exhibited Gallery and non-Gallery venues in Hertfordshire, Leicester, London and Northamptonshire. I was involved involved in the publishing of a new book called ‘Antarctic Atlas,’ which includes my hand drawn illustrations. I am currently making hand drawn illustrated cards to create funding for a Hedgehog charity called Hoggywobbles in Cambridgeshire. Since 2012 I have been teaching Art History, Stained Glass and felt making in Cambridge. I sold some original illustrations with Bonham’s Auctioneer’s from our book, Antarctic Atlas, at St. Bride’s Foundation, London in June 2023.

Description:
This course of Art History: The Birth of Modern Art is aimed at anyone who would like to know more about European painting between approximately 1905–1940. It will be a basic introduction to selected art movements during this period starting with the influences upon the Expressionist Movement, how it affected European countries, focusing upon painting, sculpture and architecture. We will look at a diverse range of work form the Bauhaus evolving through to the revolutionary shock tactics of the Dadaists, concluding with Surrealism. Artists and their work will be studied each week so that students can gain an insight into how the periods linked together, and why they were seen to be so important during this fast developing era. You will learn through a series of power point presentations, worksheets, video clips and great discussions!
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- Interpret a work of art.
- Discuss artworks with others
- Understand a little more about what Art History involves
- Meet like-minded people
Extra costs on the course for example text book, materials or equipment:
None, unless you wish to purchase books, or visit art Galleries. There will be invitations to watch Arts on Screen with the Tutor during the year as well.
For the first session you will need to bring:
A pen and notepad.
On completion of this course, what might your next steps be?
From this course you may progress onto the Spring term course.
The Adult Learn and Train team is also able to give course information or search for alternative courses for you. Adult Learn and Train offer courses through-out the year.
Try similar courses or maybe look at learning something completely new.
You will find provision on some Saturdays and Sundays; you will also find courses available in the day and evening at different venues in Cambridge. Courses vary in length from one-off sessions to 10 weeks or more.

Brief Description
Handmade Stained Glass Christmas decorations – what could be better! Have you ever wondered how glass is made and put together? Here is your chance to try a unique glass technique called ‘copper foil’, invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany, which revolutionised the way that glass was made and put together. Small scale, delicate pieces can be made using this method. You will need a steady hand and lots of patience to learn this technique, but the results will be well worth the effort! You will create a unique and beautiful copper foil glass Christmas decoration using a combination of coloured glass and glass globs if desired.
During the first part of the day, we will concentrate upon working out how to cut, foil and solder glass together. Then you will create a suitable design and colour scheme for this project so that you will understand how to design your own piece in the future.
Learning Outcomes:
The following will be covered during the course:
Design skills
Brief history of glass/makers
Glass cutting methods
Grinding & soldering
Copper foil technique
Health & safety
For the session you will need to bring:
• Images for inspiration (essential); these should be drawings or photographs please (not images of glass)
• An apron, which is fabric or plastic coated
• A small wooden board
• A glass cutter if you have one
• An A4 sheet of glass (for example buy a clip frame from Wilkinson’s) – this is for easy transportation of your glass piece
Extra costs on the course:
Tools and equipment will be provided.
Specific glass materials are NOT included in the course fee.
There will be a fee of £20 to cover the costs of equipment and glass payable to the tutor on the day.
On completion of this course, what might your next steps be?
Your tutor will advise you.
Adult Learn and Train offer courses through-out the year.
Try similar courses or maybe look at learning something completely new.
You will find provision on some Saturday and Sundays, you will also find courses available in the day and evening at different venues in Cambridge. Courses vary in length from one-off sessions to 10 weeks or more.
