Shall we begin? Print it.

Any anxieties I had walking into The Waiting Room for my very first Maker Wednesday were soon quashed by a abundance of friendly faces, crafty banter and the anticipation of a jolly good evening fabric printing to our hearts content.

Running the workshop this week was the passionate and vibrant Jacqueline Davies www.jacuelinedaviesart.com . Known for her skill as a painter, printmaker and illustrator (amongst many other enviable talents) her main inspiration for her nostalgic yet innovative work is firmly rooted in the design movement of the mid-20th century (good old-fashioned retro to us layman’s).

Jacqueline’s relaxed and confident teaching style along with her genuine enthusiasm for thee subject created an amazing atmosphere to learn in and helped as all to grasp the basics quickly and get to straight down to work.

The ‘inspiration table’ full of the quirky and the kitsch meant no one was without ideas and many of my fellow makers had come to the workshop prepared with a particular project in mind.

From bags to bunting the diversity and community atmosphere of the night drove home the importance of skill sharing which Jacqueline gave so freely and eagerly, instilling in the participants of the workshop valuable skills and the ethos of learning, sharing and making as a group.
