Three of the sections I cut from my piece on the Sue Dove technique
Angie had us doing the Sue Dove technique of ripping paper and colouring in between it is very effective,we did it on a piece of A4 paper and looking through a view finder we cut them up,below is one of Angies
This monstrous cat was made by Annie
Cheryl`s piece you can tell she is an artist
The next two are mine the first one is supposed to be ammonites
And the next 2 are Angie`s which he has cut up

This bird was made from an idea in Tesco`s food magazine,my husband who does the shopping keeps bringing them home in the hope that I might get keen and cook something different,not much hope of that, they showed theirs made in white felt but I decided red would look more cheerful
Well these are some of the screen prints that took me 5 evenings and cost me £120.00,I do have quite a few and I am thinking of papering the downstairs loo with them.The whole course was very rushed and would have been impossible to get the final printing done had not half the class not turned up.It was not what I was after as it was for printing on paper and any questions I asked about blocking a screen for fabric just got dismissed so it was for me a waste of money,but you live and learn.I did ask him at the start of the course what we would be doing but it was a wait and see answer, I did feel I ought to tell him that it was too rushed,but when we talked about it ,it was the first course of that type he had done and I couldn't bring myself to criticise it.I am just a coward.I did smile to myself on the way home he showed us some prints that were going into an exhibition and although I can admire the skill I just do not like them as a piece of art,so what a nutter doing the course.

Oh dear - I know the feeling. I did a course once and played 'hookie' the second day and went to do something else. An expensive mistake. It happens to us all.
I have yet to do a workshop or course that was of any value to me really.
I remember one which I could do already but the people, socialising and the food were great and a lovely tutor who let you do your own thing.
They are the best kind.
Cheers
Pippa, I think your screenprints are stunning, I'm sure you could incorporate them into a fabric piece. I like your Sue Dove pieces too, I feel inspired to give it a go myself.
