Into The Summer....

The sun is out at last! great things have been happening...here is a snapshot of our progress over spring!

more research into crafts...

Woad and Indigo
Grown in Europe since the Stone Age, it has a long history with East Anglia. A natural dye for hand-spun wool...tye-dye days come to mind


check out this fab video of some home vintage dye courtesy of East Anglian Archives - a brilliant resource of regional footage

Looking at yet MORE animations for inspirational storytelling...


Some fantastic workshops in which we experimented with print and stamp making - exploring how best to create a visual identity for our promotional material..

Linocut Printing

which proved to be very popular - some members using their new skills in Graphics coursework! images of their beautiful work soon to follow!!

We had a visit from the lovely and very enthusiastic Ursula White at Independent Cinema MK, who spoke to us about running cinema events in unusual and challenging spaces...it got us thinking of wonderful approaches to production


and looked at ways we could manage our garden space 

a great February...onto March!
