Kilbowie Creative Residency

During the summer, I attended a creative residency with the Heriot Watt print technitian.
The project has been running for a number of years and is set in a centre called Kilbowie, Oban.
We had 9 16 year olds in the textile printing group and we showed them how to screen print - with pigments, metalics, foil, and reactive dye painting.
It was great fun! And the kids were all lovely!
Here's some of their work from Oban:

Yesterday they came for a day's master class at the university and printed cushion designs that they had created in Oban.
Here is some pictures of their work, which will be displayed in January in North Lanarkshire:
