The last few days should have been really lonely with so many people on my course being in either Valencia or London, but, strangely enough, they weren't lonely at all. I spent Wednesday in Sheffield and Thursday in Leeds, visiting the galleries and meeting up with friends for coffee etc. etc. etc.
As always I ended up coming home with a bag full of leaflets and booklets, but I also picked up a few napkins, some lovely pieces of corrugated card- one plain and another with an amazing pattern and a length of string.
We ended up spending a lot longer than we originally intended in Leeds City Gallery, mainly because of the ArtSpace- probably aimed at children we but really enjoyed ourselves! It was so so nice to sit down and just be creative without having to over think or over analyse things. We lesarnt to make origami chairs and shirts and threaded ribbon through hessian. But, it has to be said the activity we enjoyed most was the colouring in- it was so therapeutic just to sit down and colour the squares.(There was a game to go with the colouring sheets but we couldn't find the dice to play, disappointing as we'd have loved it!!) I think the sheets were designed to mirror the work of James Hugonin's in the gallery.
