Everything is packed and ready to go to my Pop Up Blossom Studio at Derby Quad.Long lists have all been checked and ticked and I’m just hoping I have got everything I will need.
The idea behind providing a Pop Up Blossom studio is to give the public the opportunity to see my process of creativity.I will be setting the room up as my studio, the sketchbooks, photos, unfinished pieces as well as finished ones. To also provide an opportunity for people of all ages to enjoy the creative process using a variety of materials to create their own blossom work or at least spark some ideas and remind oneself that we are all born creative and our creativity needs chance to play and explore.
At the previous Pop up Studio a 2 year old child did her first painting, a very special moment for child and proud parents! Others stayed at the easel for a couple of hours.I hope in some way to encourage people to paint, draw, make with clay, sparking old happy memories of the joy of creativity or uncovering creative blocks which in some cases have surpressed the creative spirit for years.
I can’t wait to display the fabulous children’s blossom paintings from Cherry Tree School and paintings and blossom machines from the Weston on Trent School Blossom workshops.I think they will look wonderful.
Last task to do is gather some blossoms.I am amused and delighted by the usefulness of social media in my quest for fresh blossoms to paint and draw at the Pop up Blossom studio.
I sent a call out and have had several blossom offering messages one from a friend who is in Turkey at the moment but happy for me to take a look in her garden! Think I’m going to feel like a blossom thief!
A modern day way of asking the Universe, it works…
