Every couple of months I run an afternoon art sessions in two local public libraries.
The idea, originally, was to come in an talk about my work, it became readily apparent that people are keener on having a go themselves, ask advice and try out materials that are new to them. (Rather than have me talk about me).
So now I pitch up with paper, materials, water jars and an two simple table sets to draw and the assembled group just get to it. Brilliant!
I never cease to be amazed and excited about what people achieve: lovely, expressive work.
