Bold Street Festival

This Saturday 24th September was the Bold Street Art Festival and the art lids had a fanstastic day, work wise and commercially.

First things first, we have Antonia Jones to thank for the whole thing as she did an amazing job of getting us into Ropewalks Square for the day. Becky set up a table with clay and tools for the children of Liverpool to get involved in as she worked alongside them. Louise worked the longest of all of us doing incredible free portraits for the public. I really liked Anna's lovely silk screen printed labels depicting sections of bold street pinned them to passers by.  Lucy and I worked on a collaborative piece on a large felt covered wooden board. We used some works by Degas as inspiration. I guess you could say we were creating 'remakes' of his work (hehe had to fit that in).

I think what made our work so successful was that we were constantly involving ourselves and communicating with each other about what we wanted next from the painting. In this respect I think we have both impacted on each others practise. I certainly have learned to consider the effect of colours on each other much more.
