Running the printmaking session
Loren and I ran the morning activity session at Inkwell today. Last time we ran the afternoon session and no one turned up, but this time 2 girls aged 10/11 showed up, which was a relief. Things I learnt from the session give yourself plenty of time to get ready. We had over half and … Continue reading
Printmaking lesson planning
Loren and I met in the studio to plan the lesson for Saturday. We had planned and agreed a print making session with the guys from Inkwell, and attended a teacher training session on printmaking for the classroom the night before, so had a clear direction on what we needed to do. We discussed the … Continue reading
Print workshop
Loren and I went to a print workshop for teachers at West Yorkshire Print Workshop tonight to gain some new skills to help us deliver workshops at Inkwell. Fran came with us too for fun.

In a recent email they sent around, they offered staff the chance to do distance learning and achieve the NCFE certificate in Mental Health Awareness. I’ve replied requesting a place and I’m just waiting to … Continue reading
Weather workshop prep
Loren and I spent the day in the studio making all the templates, samples, and promo material for our workshop tomorrow. We used the studio, which gave us loads of space, however, the communal space did leave us open to items being borrowed by other studio users. I lost my personal ruler for a while … Continue reading
Weather workshop
Loren and I met to make a lesson plan for our first workshop at Inkwell. The theme is weather and we are going to show attendees how to make weather mobiles and pinwheels. We don’t know how to make either of these things yet, but think they look really effective with minimum resources used to … Continue reading
Planning our offer
Loran and I met to plan when we could deliver workshops at Inkwell,and what we could deliver. Luckily we were both on the same page – we both wanted to do as many as we could in June, and then settle into a monthly pattern of Saturday workshops. Since our initial meeting with Amanda on … Continue reading
