Slide making workshop, Convenience Gallery, Birkenhead, August 2019
​
I devised and led a workshop guiding participants to make their own slides using found materials, various transparencies and image manipulation techniques using markers, sandpaper, hole punches and more..
We used my collection of old slide projectors to check the work as we went along and to hold a short showing of people's work.
I made sure to send participants home with extra materials so they could keep working on their creations.
​
To say I am impressed by the work created by these first time slide makers is an understatement.
​
This workshop will be followed up by a series in Manchester.
Galleria Quattro, After Work Art School, Manchester
​
After seeing a lack of evening artist led workshops for adults I established a regular roster of evening workshops featuring a different artist and theme each time.
I work with the artists, all of whom are local to Manchster, to devise a workshop for the evening.
Hand embroidery, printmaking, watercolours and collage making have been some of our regular events. Each workshop invites guests to learn a new artistic skill in a relaxed atmoshpere with wine and pizza.
Due to Covid restrictions we are currently on hiatus but are planning a new way of running these workshops as soon as we are able.
