WI :: Graffiti taster…

wi
A cool morning graffiti taster workshop with the lovely people at the Newark Branch of the WI. Some more pictures of the artwork coming together in our Facebook album…

Here’s what some of the participants had to say about the workshop…

I really enjoyed the session and James was a very good tutor. I am very proud of my piece of work as we all were. Every masterpiece was different and I would recommend everyone to have a go if given the chance. Hopefully there will be a next time. Many thanks June Freeman.

Just wanted to say thank you for a liberating morning at the WI event. I wasn’t sure what it would all be about. It was great as we all were able to develop our own style and choose our own representations. I am no good at art. I can’t draw or paint but this was something anyone could achieve at – even me!! I shall proudly show my work at school on Monday and at WI next meeting. I think it would be a great party idea for my son too! Thanks again Angela Linford

January projects :: update…

Have been busy, busy, busy on projects, parties and graphics works. So finally got time to do a bit of an update. Lot’s of exciting stuff booked in for the coming months too so will try and keep on top of it a little more. Thank you for all the enquiries.

Just finished the film project with Positive Futures so should be able to show you the videos soon and have now started a photography project with them based around the Olympics.

soundlincs
Working along side SoundLINCS who provide music activities for young people, I have been running various graffiti taster sessions across Lincolnshire, this is just some of the artwork produced by the young people. More yet again on our Facebook…

Quote from one of the young people…

“Had a great experience today spray-painting. Everyone enjoyed it and it makes you realise how much harder it is than just on paper. Hope we get a chance to do this again! “…

And from Gemma one of the staff..

“For myself it was the one activity that i have witnessed all the young people getting involved with and keeping their attention for the whole two hours which was amazing to see. They all appeared to get so much out of it and really enjoyed it so i hope you will be returning again.
The young people also wanted to say that they really enjoyed it and thought that you were really nice and talkative which is better than some people who have been before that are really shy and hard to talk too. They said that they have never done graffiti before but really want to do it again now you have been as all of them were really proud of their pieces and didnt realise they had it in them, they said they had all gained alot from the experience and hoped you would be coming again.

Thanks James for a truly enjoyable day, i would recommend james to anyone!!”…
