To day I had the opportunity to spend the whole day in print
making with Steven and his foundation class. It was the first day they had met
him and myself. I watched him introduce the use of the printing room and health
and safety. He was very strict with the class laying the law dawn and asking
them all not to talk. He explained later that there were a few students in the
class that are disruptive.
I was offered the chance to observe and guide one half of
the group of seven while he observed the other. I felt quit comfortable and
confident in print making as I have a little experience in the practice. I
resisted the need to fill every silence with my own voice and offered help only
when I felt it necessary and when asked advice.
After lunch I swapped groups and had a chance to ask
questions on their practice and over all project. I felt confident to offer
suggestions, ideas and artists that may be of interested.
I thoroughly enjoyed today and looking forward to tomorrow,
my first day with my old lecturer Andy.
