Ashmolean Museum, Oxford

Spent a great evening at the Ashmolean in Oxford as apart of the Museums 'Live Fridays'. The theme of drawing ran through all the events for the evening and I had been invited to lead a collaborative drop in workshop drawing on the paving at the front of the museum. Taking inspiration from the Islamic Art Galleries (Gallery 31) we explored geometry and pattern. This was informed by the tiles and shadows at Lalbag Fort. Participants made up their our own 'tiles' using templates and chalks.

Glimpse of Asia

The 'Glimpse of Asia' event took place at the Museum of Childhood with lots of music, dancing, food and activities. 

The boat workshop went well with lots of people making the models. It was good fun and great that many wanted to take their boats home, although sad that we didn't manage to capture them all together as one giant fleet!
