It is so long since I wrote my blog, I have lots of older events to share with you.
So let's start with the exhibition of the C&G sketchbook course, which took place in June. All of the group had worked really hard over the year and it was lovely to give them the opportunity to share what they had accomplished with a wider public.
The variety of work was fab - we had tried so
many different techniques over the course and each student had interpreted them
in their own way adding more interest and also inspiring the others in how the
ideas could be used.
I had set 3 fairly open topics for the students and was amazed at how ingenious their interpretations were - way beyond my limited ideas.
The
books themselves are the outcome of the course. Some people struggle with why
you would want to take a course like this when you could actually be making
‘real’ finished work. However, in addition to these lovely books and pages, the
students are hopefully full of ideas for ‘real’ work which will be more
interesting and richer for having gone through all of these processes. I had set 3 fairly open topics for the students and was amazed at how ingenious their interpretations were - way beyond my limited ideas.

You don't say what the topics were.It would be interesting to know so I can think about which of the examples you show might fit into them.
Thanks Lesley. The topics were 'Down to Earth', 'Exotic Places' and 'the Everyday'. I made them very wide so a huge variety of responses and ideas would be possible
