Another busy and popular screen print workshop at Histon Library for the Histon and Impington Feast day. I will let the pictures speak for themselves:
Here's a great description from Cath who organised the project: "So, nearly 60 took part: lots of children, little ones helped by
parents, and all ages up to eighty plus, a few keen artists but mostly
people who had never done anything like this before and were thrilled
with their success. Watch out for our bags around the village!"
Thanks to the Friends of Histon Library for organising this. Keep an eye out for their book sales - they have a massive collection of very good books!
Families making art together is one of my favourite things.
The last couple of weeks has been jam packed with artmaking with people of all ages, all abilities.... as end of term events intersect with all sorts of summer celebrations we've been really busy making prints and having fun.
We had a fabulous day at Impington Village College doing T-shirts.
As always, every single one of the prints was outstanding. This one was something a little different from the usual:
A young lady and her Dad had printed a T-shirt at a previous workshop. Their design featured her pet - I mean, toy bear. This time they brought a teeny, tiny t-shirt which they printed for the bear. ( I'm spelling 't-shirt' with a small 't' just to capture how tiny it was) Such a great idea and fab cutting of tiny shapes!
And here are a couple of other notable designs:
We'll be doing another set of family screen print workshops at Impington and Witchford Village Colleges. This time with options to print either a T-shirt or a Chrismas gift for grandparents. I know, it's only July, but we have to think ahead!
These events aren't up on the websites yet but here's the link to their community learning pages for future reference.
