Making Workshops (cont.)
For this series of workshops Laura decided to begin with a block printing workshop. Each participant created their own printing blocks by cutting out foam shapes and sticking them onto wooden blocks. The blocks were then inked up with a particular colour and pressed onto paper. People worked with four or more colours, building patterns and shapes. Some people created abstract repeat patterns, others made pictorial works. One lady, who was leaving the ward to
go home that day, made a work that ended up telling the story of her and her husband, where they live and about their love for each other. The artwork was tightly grasped in her hand as she left the workshop as she wanted to bring it home to show to her husband. The workshops still have a few weeks to run so we we'll share some images with you in the next brochure.
