Debbie Lyddon Seeing Sound workshop Saturday 22nd April

I was lucky enough to get a late space on Debbie's workshop on Saturday 22nd April, here was the list of requirements

An object that makes an interesting sound (be creative!
A metal coat hanger (the cheap sort from a dry cleaner)
Pen and notebook
Pencils (soft and hard)
Graphite stick or Charcoal
Black ink/black acrylic paint
Coloured crayons
 Big brushes (decorating type)
 Small brushes
  Roll of cream lining paper
  Scissors for cutting paper
  Apron
Water pots
Newspaper/plastic for covering tables
Black sewing thread
Thicker black thread embroidery silk/perle/linen
Heavyweight white or cream cotton/canvas/linen squares (approx. 20 x 20 cms) x 4
Sewing kit needles, scissors etc

What were we going to do with the Coat hanger was my first thought!
So armed with all the above items apart from cream lining paper, I set of to Norwich for the workshop.
It was a really inspiring day from start to finish.Thank you Debbie for inspiring us all and for making us walk around the room with a coathanger suspended on a piece of thread attached to two finger which we had to stick in our ears!


Debbie generously shared many of her pieces and talked further about the Sluice Creek Cloths. We listened to all sorts of weird and wonderful sounds, made a few ourselves!! and had a wonderful time making marks, drawing with both pencil, charcoal etc and threads.
