What's
been happening.....& In
the Pipeline.....
Gumley
Village Hall... Led two Mosaic family learning workshops in Gumley
Village Hall over the summer, giving local parents the opportunity to come along
and work with their children, designing and making a mosaic.
These workshops were funded by Harborough Borough Council as an initiative to
encourage and test the market for family learning. The workshops were very
successful in terms of attendance and the feedback from those involved and
future workshops will be taking place there next year.
Also during November at Gumley Village Hall I led a Batik and Devoré workshop
to a group of adults. The workshop gave participants the opportunity to learn
and develop new skills in design, technique and application. The feedback was
very positive and a Batik Portrait workshop is being planned for next year.
Rufford
Craft Centre...nr Ollerton in
Nottinghamshire offers educational days to many schools in Nottinghamshire and
other surrounding counties and I'm pleased to have been selected as one of the
artists who will be contracted to work on some of the projects there. Rufford Craft
Centre offers the participants a unique experience outside of the usual learning
environment and includes the creative learning centre, gallery, sculpture
garden, park and restaurants. I'll be leading a series of silk-painting
workshop to a young group of learners from the John Blow School in Newark,
Nottinghamshire on Wednesday 17th March.

Cresswell
Crags... There will also be educational workshops at this venue a little further
north from Rufford: called Britain's oldest art
gallery: a unique network of natural limestone gorges with rare archeological
deposits from our ancient ancestors alongside an educational and visitor
centre, museum, country park and wildlife reserve.

Isebrook School, Kettering, Northampton...Led a teacher training Batik workshop on Wednesday 13th January where I introduced them to discharge resist dyeing on black cotton using traditional tools.
Wrenn School, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire... I'll be leading a workshop with y9 students on Thursday 28th January following on from my exhibition there. Artists' exhibitions at the school are a good way to introduce new ideas and approaches to learners as well as providing an opportunity to the artists involved. I'll be teaching this select group how to combine printing and resist/discharge dyeing techniques on a variety of materials and encouraging them to work with spontaneity and challenging their perceptions about the mediums and the subject matter.
Thomas Estley School, Broughton Astley, Leicestershire... I'll be leading another Batik workshop here for the schools grant-aided Arts Award...date yet to be negotiated...I'm delighted to be working here again after running several workshops here including the Artists In Schools project in 2008
Lutterworth Embroiderers Guild...I'll be demonstrating resist-dyed and printed textiles and putting on a display of my own work at the Guilds Regional Day on Saturday 21st May 2011 at Lutterworth Grammar School and I'll be leading a Batik master class workshop for Guild members at Gumley Village Hall on Saturday 16th October
