Today’s Creative Challenge is about creating self-portraits. The view across the fields at Slamseys is of wheat stubble and dust from the combine so a self portrait of the ground below my feet seems appropriate for today. . . . #selfportrait #creativechallenge #slamseysinspiration #harvest2019 #essexfarming #farmlife #groundbeneathmyfeet

Swathing borage this evening. The smell is deliciously fresh and green - almost cucumbery. . . . #harvest2019 #essexfarming #borage

Combining wheat at Slamseys today and carting home. Appreciating the everyday with Slamseys Creative Challenge. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #harvest2019 #wheatharvest #slamseysinspiration #combine #wheat #farming #farmlife #essex #essexfarming

Creative recycling at its best! This fantastic life sized bull is made from old farm tools and bits of machinery by @graham_thrussell and now stands where the old bull's pen used to be at Slamseys.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bull #bullart #bullsculpture #creativerecycling #slamseysinspiration #creativechallenge #creativeprocess #essex

Having fun with the Creative Challenge at https://buff.ly/2yltv70 Yesterday was about making collections and today's prompt is Gathering so this straddles both days. A small selection of plants picked on a 10 steps stretch of public bridleway that runs through the farm. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #theartofgathering #gathering #wildflowers #slamseysinspiration #creativechallenge #sketchbookchallenge #creativeprocess #englishcountryside

Important to make time for printing, shame the printmaking studio doesn't have air-con! This is an etching with carborundum of a highland cow that Anne met in Tasmania at @highlandgetawaytas⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #highlandgetaway #tasmania #highlandcow #etching #drypoint #printmaking #slamseys #intaglio

With hindsight, today is not the ideal day to spend 15 minutes outside sketching nature as part of the Slamseys Creative Summer Challenge. It's so hot I only managed a few photos. Will return this evening with my sketchbook when it's cooler. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #CreativeChallenge #creativeprocess #slamseysinspiration #nature

Something new! Print Club members can now book time in the printmaking workshop. This is great if you need a bit of space while you work or you can't make our regular Tuesday evening session.

Summer resolution (summer is the time to set resolutions, isn't it?!): Find time to be outside, to be creative and really look around and appreciate all the wonderful nature we have here on the farm. ☀️⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #slamseys #farmlife #rural #farmsummer #creativechallenge #summerchallenge #printinginprogress #botanicalwatercolour #sketchbookchallenge #summersketchbook

I'm getting back to working on a teeny mini scale ready to create something for the @reddotartconsultancy #MiniPrint exhibition. This is a great one for newbies and professionals alike to submit to as Lesley works hard to showcase as many entries as she can. Who's already sent some work in? The deadline is next month!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #printmaking #miniscreenprint #doglove #puppyprint #screenprinting #workinprogress #printinginprogress #slamseysprint #slamseys

The great thing about teaching printmaking is all the resources I have to prepare - any excuse to print!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ https://buff.ly/2WRw7Vr #printinginprogress #slamseysprintmaking #slamseys #printclass #printmaking

After a walk around the farm, stopping to sketch and collect feathers, flowers and interesting objects we’ve been experimenting with colour, pattern and different printmaking techniques. Today I’ve been using scraps of discarded prints to make a little collage in my sketchbook. . . . . #printmaking #collage #imadethis #farmlife #sketchbook #creativerecycling #creativeinspiration #slamseysinspiration
