Highborder Lodge Workshop

The latest workshop on Thursday was with residents at Highborder Lodge in the village, just a small group of us. We began with some drawings of our surroundings and moved on to some printmaking.

The drawings were used to inspire the prints, first of all we tried mono printing...

 ...and had a go at press printing too

Village Fair

I went to the Village Fair on Saturday with the intention of working with as many people in the community as possible. The torrential rain didn't help. Though I did manage to relocate from the muddy field to inside the church (phew). After a while the sun came out bringing the residents with them. I had a small display of some of the work made so far in the project, along with a copy of the village life painting, this certainly proved a talking point.

Participants had a go at mono printing and created some images of the days events and memorable objects (a lot of cakes went by!)
