So September is here again. It always feels a bit like New Year to me – I think it’s part throw back to having been a teacher and part having school age kids. So, new beginnings, new plans and on we go.
The pictures show the proggy rug project I’m involved in, incorporating pupils’ drawings in the design for three large panels that will hang in the school entrance. Having got parents and children started with it they are now very motivated and I’m looking forward to seeing the first completed panel very soon!
With my own artwork, I’ve been doing some sketchbook work, and have been inspired by the work of the Glasgow Girls, especially Joan Eardley; collage and mark making caught my imagination at an exhibition in Kirkudbright. I’ll post some pictures of new pieces soon- oh and I’ll try and finish the pieces that have been delayed by all the workshop and art tour activity!
