I’ve been doing some adult education sessions on Swansea’s Kilvey Hill, part of a creative partnership between Coed Lleol and Swansea Print Workshop. This is where I was working this morning, it’s lovely, even though the rain threatened, we had a big tarpaulin stretched over the work station.
I was teaching the participants how to make prints from leaves using Gelli Arts plates (above) and making an image by rubbing with a block of graphite.
Then everyone chose sections of their prints and rubbings that they liked best and we made badges with them. Here are some I made earlier (above). I bought the badge machine during Covid Lockdown to entertain younger relatives, but it’s turned out to be one of the best pieces of kit I’ve ever had for community arts.
