summer workshops

Thanks for keeping posting Pum and thanks to Eugenia for a post from February of the Incredible Machine. This video was the starting point for a summer school and a fantastic opportunity to work with artist Rosie Gibson and a great group of children for five consecutive full days.

Working in a studio environment, themes of cause and effect and science experiments were inspirations for some great artwork. Starting from the Incredible Machine video, we found other source material such as Rube Goldberg’s drawings, Wallace and Gromit and artists Fishcli and Weiss.

Fischli and Weiss proved really captivating, engaging the group for half an hour accompanied by shouts of delight and amazement.

As well as great artwork, there was lots of sharing ideas (thanks again Eugenia), helping each other and friendships were formed. A tiring but rewarding week and the group were still asking for more time in the studio!

An excellent radio show in which Mark Thomas tells of his campaign against the Act which requires anyone wishing to protest near the Houses of Parliament to obtain a permit.
