Tue 28 June 2022 : 4:15pm – 5:15pm
We welcome all teachers and educators to assemble at Grange Primary School for an experimental book making workshop with artist Lucie MacGregor.
During this CPD session we will repurpose existing drawings to construct ad-hoc scrapbooks, using folding, stapling, tearing and tying as methods to bind paper. Through this practical activity we will explore the book format, considering how it can be used in the classroom as a playful tool for learning.
Together with teachers Rosmary Hall and Olivia Abrahams, Lucie will reflect on her recent project, looking back at how her process of drawing, collecting and transforming, unfolded like a concertina over several weeks in school. Everyone will receive a free teaching resource that delves into ideas around creative journeys and scrapbooks.
