WHAT WILL WE DO AT OUR APRIL MEETING?
Chris will lead a leaf printing activity.
Prepare now by collecting and pressing leaves. Find a heavy book and put some leaves between the pages. Place the leaves between tissue or baking paper or normal paper to stop them sticking to the book pages. If you can, choose leaves with prominent, interesting veins and varying shapes. 

BRING:  watercolour paints, watercolour paint brushes, hand towel, jar for water, brayer (if you have one), paper to print on such as watercolour paper (at least 150 gsm). The better quality your paper is, the better your prints should be.
If any of you have an embossing / dye cut machine such as a Cuttlebug, Sizzix Big Shot (or any brand) please let Chris know if you can bring it. We only need about three. These make good printing presses if you add thick card, felt etc to the plastic plates. Bring some card and felt if you want to do that.
