Observational art

What a great way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon - even if I do say so myself. The art session today was all about observational drawing. linked to gardening and the allotments. Triss supplied lots of different outdoor/gardening themed objects and asked the participants to set up three still life sets.

​The actual drawing session was split into two parts. Participants firstly rotated around the sets spending 10 minutes at each one drawing. I was the time keeper and I'm told the middle ten minutes seemed very short !!!

After everyone had visited the three sets they were invited to choose one and undertake a more in-depth piece of work. Some great pictures were produced and we agreed it felt very relaxing. Of course the afternoon ended with a cup of tea and biscuits.

The art sessions are going well and we've started on the research. We're off to Essex Records Office on Friday 10th March to do some background work - there's space for a couple more people to join us, so if you're interested then please get in touch.

We're tentatively starting to think about the layout of the booklet. We'd appreciate anyone with graphics/ IT/ design skills giving  some assistance  - or how about helping out by proof reading !!

​Today a group of us met at the Station House and talked about what's  been found out about the history of the allotment site.
​We also mulled over the structure of the booklet and have already decided on several of the sections...

​Phew, we've had a busy old week.... 
On Saturday we had our last workshop based around printing, this time we tried out some collography.

​To keep it simple - we glued bits and pieces on to heavy card and sealed the top over with copious amounts of glue, this was used as a printing plate. Our results were variable, we decided that it needed more time for the glue to dry before progressing on to printing stage. 

We ended the session with a cup of tea and trying some chutney made from green tomatoes, which hadn't had time or right conditions to ripen at the end of last years growing season  - with cheese and crackers of course!!
