"Curiouser and curiouser!" says Ali...

At the moment our group project
is based on the Lewis Carroll book
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

























We're right at the beginning of the project,
but we'll put up pictures
so you can see how we're getting on!

do you see simple pinch pots?


Simple?

Put out your hand, make your thumb touch your index finger and squeeze...
for some of you this will have been easy,
for some it will have taken thought or effort,
some will have needed support from another to achieve this action.
So maybe there isn't anything simple about a pinch,
maybe it's only simple to those who take fine motor skills for granted?

we all leave a mark


our carbon footprint
a first impression
a smudge
a smear
a scratch

a signature
that spells
our movements
not our names

printing gives everyone
chance
to make their mark

sometimes all you need is a sunny day...


...there are times when everything seems to fit perfectly, a dry, warm day in Glasgow, a short walk away nature providing all the things you need for a project...

friends, conversation, laughter while you work, little bits of wonderful happening simultaneously...

and photographs,

so we don't forget how lucky we were to share the experience!

stars through our eyes







there's always a price to pay...











...even for creativity

what did you expect?


Our art won't always be what you're expecting
- we hope!

First this...

We are artists.
We live in or around Glasgow, Scotland.
We have additional support needs.
We are part of a group that meets every week.

Ali set this up.
She coordinates the projects.
She is an artist too.

We work together.
We work on our own.
We work with visiting specialists.

This blog is about our work.
We want to share it
because
We are artists.
