I’ve received such lovely feedback from schools

I’ve received such lovely feedback from schools recently that I wanted to share it here.

I have over 12 years experience working in schools as a teacher of Art, Design and Textiles and I have been running workshops in schools as a visiting artist for the past 10 years…so 22 years experience in total I guess!

I love running workshops for schools! Developing art activities around a theme is one of my favourite things to do.

Schools seem to really appreciate me too, looking at all the fantastic feedback. I’m so delighted and glad to be able to help.

You can find out more about my workshops for school on my linktree in my bio.

I had a lovely time at the Print Festival @sunnyba

I had a lovely time at the Print Festival @sunnybankmills yesterday! Thanks to @artfarm123 Angela for the hilarious photo of me.

It was a gorgeous day and what a beautiful setting for a print fair. I met some really lovely people, I do love the sort of folk you get at print fairs!!
Thanks so much to the folk who came to say hello and thanks if you signed up to my mailing list. Anyone who bought something from me an especially big thank you! It means such a lot you have no idea.
It was also very nice to catch up with old printmaker friends and make new ones too. Thanks to the organisers and to the kind and patience chaps in the pink hi-vis jackets who helped me pack my car at the end of the day. I was pooped!

Anyway, I really hope to return to #sunnybankmills before too long. It’s fab!

Now I am having a Spring print sale of all my fabulous florals ( and a few other prints too) over the next week. Some works are already on sale ( I did a few over breakfast) and I’ll be adding more tomorrow. If you are on my mailing list I’ll be offering some extra goodies with each purchase which I’ll be sharing in a newsletter tomorrow!! You can sign up via my website, link in bio.

I’m really excited to be at @sunnybankmills for the first time this Saturday. It’s going to be ace!

I’ll be bringing a few of my colourful hand printed cats and flowers along.

I’ve been woodcut printing (as well as collaging) this week, using the jug/vessel form.

I’ve been exploring forms that vaguely resemble bottles/containers/figures for a while now. The jug is a lovely shape to include and I’m considering ways I might bring this shape into a print composition with other forms. Basically a still life group I guess.

I’m enjoying the complex pattern from the busy prints I used to make the paper jugs & collaged jugs and recreating something similar as a woodcut print. I think I like the simplicity of the green jug prints even more, although you may notice these plainer woodcut prints are embossed with patterns?

Lots of ideas. If I can I’ll bring a few of these along to the print festival at #sunnybankmills on Saturday.

A colourful feast for the eyes.

I’m going to have a Spring sale! It will start on Saturday at @sunnybankmills print festival and I’ll continue it on my website the following week.
I’m going to take 10% - 20% off many of my original ‘one off prints’. It’s mostly my ‘floral’ wood cut prints in blues, reds and occasional pinks that will be in the sale. I love them and I’d love them to find new homes. If you see anything you like even before Saturday, dm me and we can have a chat.

I’ll be offering extra goodies to my subscribers too, so if this sounds tempting to you sign up to my newsletter on my website to get these extra offers. When you go to my website a pop up asks if you want to sign up. If you are struggling with this just dm me and I’ll add you. 😁

Images of vessels created recently & also from a while ago now.
Paper vessels inspired by @katesemple ‘s tutorial with @stillflowerdrawing and other collages and mixed media work too.

There is something about these shapes and the idea of containment. I’m exploring this a lot at the moment and I’m excited to share more soon.

Continuing the collage theme in this post, as it’s been about collage for me recently.

Here are a few photos from a couple of weeks ago when I visited a primary school near Wakefield to run a collage workshop for the Y5’s.

We had lots of fun selection different materials to represent different tones of a local historic building near the school. I mentioned this workshop a few posts ago I realise, so I won’t go on but just to say I absolutely love teaching art to primary age children. They are so full of enthusiasm. The vast majority of them (sometimes with a little encouragement ) are so open to experimenting with materials and exploring different processes and generally being really creative. It’s just so rewarding and inspiring to see.

For this particular workshop I purposefully chose an activity that was linked to the local history theme the year had been studying and my experience with this age group meant I planned an activity the children would engage with. After so many years as a teacher of art and textiles and many, many children’s workshops, I have a good sense of what children of different ages enjoy.

I’m now getting enquiries at the moment for school workshops in the summer term. Do contact me if you’d like me to visit your school.

There is a link to my workshops for schools my bio, if you’d like to know more.
