The View From Here - Flower Power Prints

Today were were exploring simple print making with artist Carole Miles. We used Press Print cut into petal shapes. We each had a petal or a centre and we drew patterns into the surface of the material.

We then rolled out our colours onto trays

then onto the petals.

We created bold flower prints

and loved the way we could change the colours

in each print. Brendan made a print of the sun seen through Rainforest leaves.

Threads and Chatter - Paper Plate / Woven Tree

Another inventive session with our lovely Phiona Richards who showed us how to create a colourful tree from a paper plate, paint and threads

We chose a limited palette of paint

and painted a geometric, abstract background

taking care to make distinct areas of colour.

we cut slots in the top and bottom of the plate

 and added a series of horizontal threads.

Phiona then showed us how to weave our tree,

it took patience and concentration

and the results were just fabulous!
