House to Studio to House
Move table into light, bring out materials, choose specific source material, draw, have tea, clear away materials, move table back.
Afterthought, a studio would be luxury!

Winged Beasts Workshop
I conducted a four day workshop with children aged 8-12 years over Easter. The workshop encompassed art practice and environmental science through practical classes, nature walks and talks. The two subjects compliment each other beautifully and the products of the week were proudly exhibited by the students on completion. Over the four days we prepared and created detailed drawings, dry point etchings, paper and wire sculptures, invented hybrid species, and large scale group mosaics.
Talks included life in the hedgerow, bees and the hive, pond life, importance of insects, and butterfly patterns. I learned a thing or to myself and now realize the world would be in bits without our amazing insects!
