There were two main objectives for the workshop
Day 1
1. To make a silk screen.

The second objective in day 1 was to learn different ways
of preparing artwork for photographic exposure
which was really interesting
That was a really full day of learning and it
included another collectively 'made' sumptuous lunch.
Day 2,
The objective was to take a klee picture as
your inspiration /starting point and create
a piece of work.
I really hated what I did and can't bear to even show you .
It is horrible . There is no other
way to describe it .
I realised afterwards that I'm too impatient to
mix and build up colours, I want instant block
colour ,that's probably what I love about glass.
One of my fellow course attendees was Laura Freire , a very lovely and very talented spanish woman , and she is also a blogger!
Laura's work is really gorgeous ,It's so precise and perfect , she was the class champion , you can check out her blog on the course here and see her other beautiful work.
