By Maureen Crosbie

Artist Educator Maureen Crosbie shares this innovative and accessible way of making drypoint etchings with children.

“I had been looking for a way to make simple but authentic etchings with my classes when a friend offered me the use of a table press. Other friends offered me exhibition space, and two of my schools dipped into a rainy day fund to buy beautiful paper, good water based printing ink and sheets of acrylic. It felt like the start of something great!

What We Like About This Resource….

“Faith’s work creating sculptures using recycled or discarded plastic is really beautiful, and exceeds expectation of what we might consider scrap plastic being able to do. The processes she uses, particularly with the dancing figures, are all easily accessible to a school setting, with tape, card, wire being relatively inexpensive and simple to use. Delivering an Art project using waste plastic has cross curricular links with other subject areas, particularly PSHE and Geography where children may be learning about the environment and how to protect it” – Tobi, AccessArt.
