When the tape is pulled back, a direct print from the flora's natural chemicals is revealed.
Molly's Hapa Zome Pencil Case
Molly used Flower Pounding and line drawing to create this delicate and colourful design - adding to the pencil case over the course of the week.
Natural Inspiration Wall Hanging
Another participant made this lovely wall hanging, using loose embroidery stitches around small branches to make this lovely wall hanging.
Natures Power: Plant and Sun Prints
Anthotypes and Cyanotypes, early forms of photography, added further natural tools and creative skills to our art making.
Tumeric Anthotypes, washed with Baking Soda
We experimented together with tumeric, spinach and beetroot printing of various plant matter.
Layering Techniques with Cyanotype
The young artists married their personal practice with the blueprint technique to create really individual artworks.
Natural paints
Natural emulsion are light sensitive and quickly lose their sun printing capabilities - but are still great for painting.
Layla's Forest
Layla created this particularly compelling piece representing the ideas of the materials.
Earth Paints
Extending the idea, our young artists mixed up further paints using earth, ash, and charcoal and made playful symbolic pieces using old maps and interesting papers.
Figurative Panel
As the week progressed, we also explored identity and pieces became increasing figurative.
What represents me?
This artist's piece incorporates a variety of symbols in a lovely sampler.
Connection
This artist's pieces represents strong concepts with surprising ease.
Hapa Zome is quite the ice breaker- seeing as it involves rubber mallets and ear defenders.
