Biscuits for today’s printmaking workshop at Slamseys. @madeleinehoward7 always called these Daddy’s Biscuits but if sandwiched together with butter icing they became Gypsy Creams. Either way, they taste good. . . . #printmaking #printmakingclass #biscuits🍪 #Slamseys

I spend a lot of time dreaming about being creative, rather than being creative... stuck in front of a screen trying to will myself to think of the next idea - sound familiar? I think this is something that a lot of people struggle with, so we've written something helpful! We've put together an e-book full of ideas to get you outside, looking at the world and working in your sketchbook. Some of our printmaking students have used it to come up with ideas for class, but it'll work for anyone who wants to bring a little creative practice into their day.
