Today the Youth Advisors worked with artist Rose Sinclair to learn about Ndebele art, originating in South Africa and Zimbabwe and often used for
painting houses. The Youth Advisors will be learning about different types of African textile art over the next few weeks to run their own workshops in the summer holidays.
Firstly the Youth Advisors made their own sketchbooks...

We looked through images to understand more about Ndebele, which is a visual language wherein shapes fit together in a very graphic style to produce meaning.
We then were taught by Rose how to screenprint by making our own stencils and then printing them
Isobel with one of her final prints
The next time we meet, we will learn how to make our own Adinkra cloth, inspired by the fabrics of Ghana.
