School Workshops - May / June 2011

Pupils try out a variety of folding techniques to make books. We use book making tools and have a go at making sections, concertina folds, star books, and map folds.

Pupils use their field studies and collected objects to transfer drawings onto print blocks.

We are making relief prints - incising the surface of the block before covering with ink using a roller. We use poly-block and water based ink.

Working alongside the class teacher we develop links to science, geography and arts curricula, looking at Columbus’ fleet of ships and made drawings. These will be made into prints for Teesmouth Nature Reserve maps.
