Out of the Fold started off 2025 with a workshop led by the wonderfully talented artist and tutor
Michelle Parsons on our exhibition theme for 2025 - REFLECTIONS
We set up a still life using all manner of light reflecting items and started by making some drawings. Michelle encouraged us to use a variety of media including bold lines using sharpie pens, charcoal or graphite
Colour was added. Michelle advised on ways of representing light and reflections.

We were encouraged to make two drawings to be cut up and reassembled

| Drawing be Jenny Lam |
This allowed us to be not so precious about our drawings and was very 'freeing'

Michelle also showed us how to make lino cut blocks from parts of our drawn designs

Finally the two drawings were cut up and combined with lino prints on top. All ten participants produced very different pieces to 'reflet' their own styles and personalities

This workshop was a great way to start the new year and get our creative juices flowing again after Christmas
Members will continue to work on their designs and the ideas which Michelle very generously shared at our February meeting

The 'Reflections' series will be shown at our exhibition at The Guildhall, Bury St Edmunds in September 2025
Here is a short video showing the designs created on the workshop by members of Out of the Fold
