Since I exhibited at Yonder, my local climbing centre in Walthamstow, I was asked to plan some art & craft sessions for their kids summer holiday club. I decided to show the kids how I approach creating my collage illustrations. We started by experimenting with some Monotype prints on acetate and also Gel plate, playing with mark making using different tools. Alongside this we also created textures with watercolours and ink. We made our own bank of textured papers, which we later used to create our own sketchbooks. It was really lovely to teach this process, and I always enjoy working with young people and seeing how they engage in the creative process.
