We did a mixed printing session today with Art Pad, using screen printing and poly-printing! Lots of different themes were explored in their designs - our young people did a great job! @TNLComFund #polyprint #screenprinting

Thanks everyone for bearing with us on our canopy project. The existing structure is being moved by the end of the week and we will be working with a new contractor in 2026 to get us to completion!

We had a fun time at AAF doing a mono-printing session yesterday! We did a little bit of addition, a little bit of subtraction and a little bit of collage for cards! Thanks to @BhamCityCouncil

Such a great set of mono-collage prints created by our participants at Art at the Folly! We used wallpaper books, doilies and fabric to create raised abstract surfaces. Block printing inks were then applied to create unique works. We 💕them! @migranthelp @BVSC @BhamCityCouncil

We had a lovely afternoon in the sunshine with our Form of Clouds participants yesterday. We did needle felting with Eliza Bennett. One of our participants finished the make off at home with brilliant stitching and button! @BVSC @BhamCityCouncil

We had another wonderful adventure to @comptonverney this week with the Form of Clouds. We loved the atomisers in the Naples Collection - they really brought the volcanic paintings to life. The Towering Dreams exhibition was a FOC fan-favourite! @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC

The little glimpse of warm weather lifted our spirits at last week's Form of Clouds session as we invited artist @PaulaLigo to deliver a painting session for us. We got comfortable with acrylics and then did some simple still-life's in the sunshine! @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC

We delved into the world of oil pastels at this week's Form of Clouds. We rarely use more traditional mediums for our sessions, so it was fun to immerse ourselves in colour and texture. @BhamCityCouncil @BVSC
