On Tuesday last week, I took a print workshop where we used sweets. Here are some owls that I created using liquorice allsorts and midget gems. I have a similar workshop today with a different group of people and I hope it is as much fun.

I knew this would be fun to do with kids and I was proved right. Armed with sacks of sweets on Wednesday I had a printing workshop and we had great fun stretching, printing and eating them. creating all manner of owls, bats and monsters.

Below is a selection of our printing tools.

Don't eat your sweets . . . print them

Last weekend at George Douglas's class we were shown the possibilities of confectionary printing with midget gems.
I wanted to try some other sweets out and here are midget gems and liquorice allsorts. I have enjoyed working with sweets to create art before and I think I may try this soon with some school groups.
