SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND

The term may be over at the yard:ARTspace, but have been a couple more weekend workshops happening in the lovely sunshine.

I ran my signature workshop Mixed Media Sketch book and Gum Arabic Transfer printing.

In the heat we printed with photocopies

creating layers of 

image and colour.

Then threw paint,

Ink, Wax

and bleach at everything.

Finally folding the sheet of worked paper 

to create these fabulous pamphlet booklets.

I have just had to overwhelm you with the results as

I can't choose my favourite book.

They were all so different and

considered.

I feel a bit bad about sending home

several people with a new 

and compulsive gum arabic transfer printing habit.

With the gorgeous weather comes fabulous vegetation. 

Once again I am lucky enough to host the textile artist Claire Cawte for a weekend

 

of Eco Printing, Rusting and Dying.

Strange things bubbled in cauldrons in the Press room.

Odd packages appeared.

Primitive tableau's were enacted outside.

Looking like mummified exhibits and

works of art in their own right, these packages turned into

wonderful lengths of fabric when unraveled.

Extraordinary colours were produced with fruits, 

flowers and leaves.

Everyone took away a must have accessory.

This academic year the yard:ARTspace has hosted talented artists generously sharing their skills. Next term and 2019 will be no exception, but book early to avoid disappointment, places go fast.

the yard:ARTspace will help you develop your creativity.
