two day’s with year 10 student’s of Mount Batten School, teaching them my
process of <i>monoprinting with stencils</i>. 1 day per class. We worked with their
theme of natural forms. Here are a few photos of some of the lovely work
produced. (There was loads of lovely work, but I couldn’t get a photo of it
all)…</span></div>

Have you heard about it yet? Well if not you should certainly check out the swish new website and read about the creative types bumbling around Bristol and their creatives offerings.<br />

I recently ran a printmaking workshop with The Art Troupe in Hamilton House, Bristol.<br />
You can book me or any of the other artists listed on the website for pretty much any group situation, (e.g. corporate event, birthday, children's party, team building, hen party). It's an incredibly enriching activity and a really lovely way to de-stress and work alongside your mates/colleagues doing something a bit different.<br />
Heres a few snaps of the fun evening.<br />

You can also enquire about attending a workshop as an individual. We will try to create a date that a group of about 8 or so strangers can also make!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In July I got another chance to work with a great organization called
Imayla. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 13.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

opportunities for young people, families and groups, combining creative arts
and environmental activities inspired by the natural environment. They aim
to make connections across cultural, artistic and physical divides.</span><br />
<span style="color: #343434;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #343434;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worked with young people aged 7-16. We used stencils and my magic rollers and ink to produce individual flags,
which we then joined together to make bunting, which could be used for the rest
of the project over the coming months.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been busy choosing new frames, printing and framing and organising workshops and making new work for a Pop-Up shop (in Hamilton House, open for the month of June).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My next exhibition is on for only a week in the heart of Bristol, Stokes Croft. I will be exhibiting my prints from India as well as a few other pieces in the gallery of Hamilton House, next to The Canteen, 24th-30th May. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll be setting up this Friday or Saturday and quite likely I'll be working in the gallery space on Saturday doing some printmaking so you can pop in to see how its all done and with a small donation come away with your very own hand printed greetings card or print. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OPEN STUDIOS AT HAMILTON HOUSE:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also a date for your diaries here, June 14th. The artists studios of<a href="http://www.hamiltonhouse.org/open-day/" target="_blank"> Hamilton House</a> are opened up to the public, so you can see behind the scenes where beautiful and amazing things are created and chat to some of the artists. I will be doing another drop in workshop here for just £5 (suggested donation).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's loads of other workshops going on as well, for really cheap or free! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also here's a lovely testimonial from Fiona who works with a great organisation called </span><a href="http://imaylacic.squarespace.com/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Imayla</a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and hired me as a freelance workshop leader, to facilitate a printmaking workshop with people with mental health disorders and their families. Here's what she said, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'Sophie is a very skilled and creative arts practitioner, it was very easy to plan our activity with her and she has a gentle and encouraging approach to participants some of whom where quite nervous about what they were being offered - she's a good find and we'd definitely use her again'</span></div>

I have just passed on thirty one of my prints to the framers. Once framed they are going to be adorning the walls of one of the wards in the new Southmead Hospital in Bristol. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are both slightly different versions of prints I already had on my website. Because there are thirty one rooms I needed to produce some new work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also I've just started on a new course called Participatory Arts in Health and Social care and its great. It's very rewarding working within the community and using creative practice as a form of therapy. </div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">On Saturday 25</span><sup><span lang="EN-US">th</span></sup><span lang="EN-US"> of January I led a printmaking workshop as part of

around 30 of them at a time and about 100 people over the afternoon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

woodland, where participants learn a </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">unique</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> printing technique, which is easy to do at home, without needing </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">specific printing facilities or expensive materials.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> The process starts with a rough sketch/design. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year I helped Karen and Alice with one of their art sessions for young children, on their inset day. It was a great morning chatting to the ladies, with small children of their own and helping out with lots of fun activities. This included collage, play dough and making spoon people, to name but a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The lovely ladies are busy in Bristol doing lots of creative workshops with youngsters. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To see what else they're up to this year head to their Facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/letsmakeartkids" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/letsmakeartkids</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first is a charity event for British Heart Foundation at the Island on 15th Feb.<br />They are also finalising events at the RWA, a new play cafe in Bedminster and their own 'recycled' themed course for preschoolers.<br />Very exciting. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which reminds me, my next mono printing workshop is on in less than a month at Hamilton House.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
February 11th 2014 // 17.30pm - 20.30pm. //All materials supplied // £25</div>

There's nothing like a warm yet fresh and bright autumn morning to inspire. I've finally set about doing something I've been meaning to do since March!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Start a painting.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
I've been putting it off because I just couldn't decide what to paint. I had so many ideas it was hard to choose. I've chosen to go along the lines of abstract natural things. Just to get me back into painting, before I go for anything too realistic. These are some photos I took at the beautiful Ashton Court in Bristol, which never fails to leave me feeling super relaxed and inspired. </div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I wanted to create a
sentimental and affordable print. So I went smaller and simpler. Simple things
are often the most effective. I was experimenting here with using hand-cut
stencils and my usual technique for applying the colours first with my small
durathene roller. This way I could still get that slightly translucent textured
effect. I then screen printed the line detail over the top. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

an empty space in Quakers Friars was turned into a swish, elegant new shop and
gallery, called <a href="http://printshopbristol.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/roll-up-roll-up.html" target="_blank">The Print Shop</a>. It’s been an absolute pleasure to be involved.

have long to have a look.</span></div>

every month a new set of artists are chosen to sell their handmade prints in
the shop. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are framed
prints, mounted prints, printed sketchbooks and bags, notebooks, cushions, greetings cards and my very own printed t-shirts. Every item in the shop is hand-printed with love by a
local Bristol artist, either a member of <a href="http://drawninbristol.co.uk/" target="_blank">Drawn in Bristol</a> or <a href="http://www.spikeisland.org.uk/" target="_blank">Spike Island</a>. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I
remembered a little drawing I had done a while ago, of a chicken wearing some
headphones. It's become apparent that I have a thing for chickens. They have
appeared a few times in my work, some times sporting a funky suit or a
fascinator. I also love music, and decided my chicken did as well. </span></div>

t-shirts are £15, I've printed some small, medium and large, in a range of
colours. White, light blue, charcoal and a darker blue. As a studio member of Drawn in Bristol, I get to use the facilities there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
