Work in progress self portraits by Year 6 students Pyrcroft Grange Primary School This idea was inspired by a fantastic Year 8 project done by my amazing art teacher friend Grainne Roche Hopefully they will be finished in about a week. They just need to add their favourite things around them ❤️

I’ve had a lovely few days making terracotta clay tiles with all of the Young Carers at Boxgrove Primary. I love working in small groups and getting a chance to chat and make art together….nothing better ☺️ Thanks to Boxgrove for the warm welcome as always ❤️

Lovely day in Stanwell! It was Stanwell Multicultural Day and we were creating flags to celebrate the wonderful local community. Lots of the children were keen to do their own version of the Union Jack, with vibrant colours and sometimes words and pictures added. I didn’t get a chance to take many photos but I loved the ones that combined the flags of two countries together, showing pride both in the UK and in their own heritage (or sometimes the heritage of Messi or Ronaldo!) Thanks to Stanwell Events for putting on a wonderful day….great food, great dancing, great music and all round happy vibes bringing the community together ☺️

Here are a few of the geometric repeat prints by the Year 1 boys at RGS Guildford from our printmaking workshops this week. They did brillliantly! Thanks to all the boys and all the staff for their warm welcome ☺️

You might not know that we run Saturday art classes in Woking. Currently we have two sessions running from 10-12 and 12.15-2.15. Young artists aged from 7-18 are welcome to join us - we have space for a couple more in each session. It’s a lovely, relaxed art studio vibe where everyone is free to paint or draw something of their choice but a professional artist or designer is at hand to gently guide and support their vision. Please dm or email [email protected] for more details 🎨 ❤️ 🎨❤️ 🎨

Today was my first session with the children from the ASD centre Pyrcroft Grange Primary School and I was so impressed with them. We started by following a Kapow lesson to construct paper cylinders and then we deviated a bit to add extra colour and pattern with foam shapes. It was a great way to talk about different colours and shapes. I was really pleased that all the children had a go ☺️
