the next printmaking workshop with Mark Rowden.

Practice – teasing out creative possibilities a weekend workshop with Ruth
Hadlow
Some comments:
“Not starting with an expected outcome but
letting the germ of inspiration and it's tangential exploration lead the way to
wherever it may go was intriguing and the take home message for me. Pay close
attention, analyse what is engaging me, be specific, not what I like but what
interests me are only some of the points to consider and pursue.” Annette
“Letting
the imagination run free.” Maureen
“I
now write what I see draw what I see and photograph it and don’t worry what
anyone else thinks – but I value feedback.” Robin
“Ruth
advises to work on what excites and interests you, without necessarily having
an end point in mind. For me, it goes some way to explaining why I enjoy the
thinking and planning phase of a project, but often find it difficult to follow
things through to completion. She tells us to ask 'Is it still alive for me?'
when deciding whether to continue with a theme or piece of work. One of the
other significant points Ruth made was that the sampling we do when
working on a project can be the work and that your practice is indivisible from
your life.
