Ran some workshops last week: Stencil workshop in Gateshead for 11-16 yr olds on Thursday and Friday and a portrait workshop in Sunderland on Saturday. Here is one of the stencils made by one of the kids, they all came out pretty good.

the venue for it was an indoor market, which was kind of weird, but turned out okay in the end. I think this used to be a flower stall.

The portrait thing was at the Winter gardens and was meant to be 'famous faces' i.e. the kids draw their favourite celebs. We ended up with a lot of Michael Jacksons and the Mitchell brothers from Eastenders, which came as a surprise to me.

One of many Michael Jacksons...

Charlotte Church.
Some of the kids didn't want to draw celebs, so we ended up with a picture of me (see below) and some fruit.

I think it looks a lot like me. Except I have hands.
