Workshop session I Valentine’s Ice-Breaker

I began with a relaxed, Valentine’s-themed workshop, where participants painted plaster horse heads that I cast from a beach object (I think it was part of a dog toy). They also made some valentines cards using stencils and did some drawings. This was a light, confidence-building reintroduction to materials and mark-making class.

The session flowed really well, and it was lovely to see how focused and absorbed the guys became in their work. There was a calm, concentrated energy in the room as they worked with colour and texture. At the end, I hung some of the pieces on the wall so they’ll be able to see their work up when they arrive next week.

Massive thank you to the day care service providers from Craigard who support and help each of these workshops to run smoothly and safely 😊

This next phase of A Tapestry of Connection Phase II - focuses on slowing things down — creating more time in the studio making photopolymer prints. The project also centres on social engagement through a series of workshops, allowing relationships, ideas, and ways of working to develop more gradually. This balance of focused studio practice and shared making is about finding clarity in the work, while strengthening connection through the process of printmaking itself.
