Way way back in late November I ran a workshop for teachers, in the depths of Yorkshire Sculpture Park. This is the kind of work I don’t really mind doing. It rained almost all the time but I enjoyed it nonetheless. And I got to stay with my best mate for the long weekend as well, so really it was spot on.
The teachers got to play with fabric manipulation techniques all weekend. Pleating, gathering, stuffing, quilting and Suffolk Puffs. All my favourite stuff.
And in the lunchbreaks I got to enjoy two fabulous exhibitions:
Also got a nosey around the National Arts Education Archive too which had some fun stuff including some old costume accessories
Beaded hat
Beaded trim
And loads of kids artwork including an amazing appliqued wall hanging
And some work from books from the 20s, 30s and 40s. Amazing stuff.
And totally unrelated some nice painted patterned steps
and some peely birch bark

What a beautiful assortment of photos – especially love the peeling bark!
Everytime I go up the M1 to visit my folks I see the sign for the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. I now want to visit it even more than I did before GAH I know I never will!
gee I enjoyed those older embriodery works – especially the house scape – thanks for posting
