Workshop's with Mount Batten School

 I spent two day’s with year 10 student’s of Mount Batten School, teaching them my process of monoprinting with stencils. 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)…

The Art Troupe

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.

I recently ran a printmaking workshop with The Art Troupe in Hamilton House, Bristol.
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.
Heres a few snaps of the fun evening.

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!

Workshops with Imayla

In July I got another chance to work with a great organization called Imayla.

Imayla offers fun learning 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.

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.

My printmaking workshop at the Arnolfini

On Saturday 25^th of January I led a printmaking workshop as part of the We Are Family day at The Arnolfini, in Bristol, relating to their current exhibition by Joëlle Tuerlinckx. It was a busy, fun four hours.

I had some great volunteers helping me manage the budding artists, around 30 of them at a time and about 100 people over the afternoon.

People of all ages got to try a selection of three different printmaking techniques.

On the first table was a collection of different materials, from foam to leaves to cardboard, which you could cut out and arrange on your plate to create a collagraph to print from.  

The second table was monoprinting with stencils, based on how I make my own work and the third table was drawing on the back of paper, on top of a layer of ink, to get an inky drawing on the reverse.

The three techniques could also be combined to create a multi-layered print.

Thanks for having me Arnolfini.

My next workshop for people from 16+ is at Hamilton House on Feb 11^th from 17.30-20.30. Please scroll down my blog here for more details.
