Schools
Do we really understand the importance and impact of creativity on children?
Sadly, creativity and the arts is being removed from schools with detrimental effects to children. Creativity has been proven to enhance wellbeing, it opens the door to exploration and curiosity. It gives space to explore feelings, thoughts and the world around us without the necessity for words which can sometimes get in the way. From creativity grows communication, confidence and resilience, all the qualities needed to successfully navigate life- even when times are tough.
Now, more than ever, children need these skills, they need to be able to use their hands to create which will enable them to thrive.
I often wonder, if children aren’t given the opportunities to be creative, to explore with no outcome what happens to our future surgeons, innovators and pioneers?
My workshops allow children the freedom and space to explore in a nurturing environment.
I run half day and full day woodblock printing workshops which are inclusive, accessible and tailored to your needs.
The outline below will give a rough idea of what a workshop may look like.
An introduction to block printing.
Woodblock printing demonstration.
Then the exciting bit…Printing!
You will print a variety of samples on both paper and fabric experimenting with colour and pattern.
Printing on cards and stationary (If a full day workshop).
Printing on a tote bag or cushion cover or maybe, students would like to work collaboratively on a larger scale to create a wall hanging.
Prices start from £150 for a half day workshop and £250 per full day, this does not include materials.
