Today the Youth Advisors worked with artist Seiwa Cunningham to plan for their own workshops. They will be running a workshop for summer school students in August and also a public workshop for International Slavery Remembrance Day on Friday 23 August. They will share two of the creative techniques they have learnt and the history of the textiles they are inspired by.
We began the day by thinking about how the workshops would happen - where will they be? Why are we doing it? Who is our audience? What do we need to do to prepare? We had a group discussion
After our discussion, we thought of ways to simplify the day long process of making our own batik fabrics and then experimented with different ways to make fabric inspired by Dutch Wax...
We were really pleased with the results and everyone produced a bag or t-shirt with Dutch Wax and Adinkra effects
