Helen returned to the Art Group to provide an entertaining workshop teaching the various techniques of preparing textures and mark-making that could then be used within a finished artwork.  

These included:

• using inked print rollers to create ghost prints and when combining the roller with string produced amazing shapes on paper;
• acrylic ink with water on absorbent wallpaper that, when folded, created marks that hinted at woodland scenes and flowing water.

She also brought generous amounts of tissue papers, coloured images, music score, pastels etc to use and experiment with.

Helen shared her knowledge with the members throughout the busy day, ensuring our creative juices continued to flow to produce pieces of art that were all displayed at the end of the day.
