Two days with some Kelly College etchers
I have just completed my annual workshop with sixth formers from our local private school, Kelly College. On the first day the students were accompanied by their new head of art, Gemma Spooner, who came along to find out what we get up to. On the second Alex McCarthy, artist in residence at Kelly, was my helper and as usual he was fully occupied with control of the last minute rush to complete the etchings and then the frenzy of printing which always ensues on the last day. Many thanks to Gemma and Alex, but also to the students – lively as always, but every single one was really focused this year and worked very hard to fulfil their potential. I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as I did. I was thrilled with the results. See for yourself…
