Join the Handmade Printed Cards workshop with Cath Brooke in Shipley at Salts Works on December 8, 2024. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to create up to 10 unique hand-printed cards using polystyrene 'quickprint' blocks and a variety of colors. Quickprint allows for a similar effect to linocuts, where designs are drawn into polystyrene plates. Attendees can choose to make one, two, or three color prints based on their design preferences. Participants are encouraged to bring a design idea, whether Christmas-themed or not, although a selection of images will be provided by Cath. It is recommended to wear old clothes or bring an apron as printmaking can be messy. Cath Brooke, an experienced printmaker with a background in community arts projects, will guide the workshop.

Letterpress printing, invented in the 15th century, sparked a revolution in the distribution of the printed word and thereby the rapid growth of literacy among common people. Try your hand at this most important of artforms on the largest letterpress printing press of its kind in the world. Using our wide range of traditional wooden letters – some collected and some donated to the People Powered Press – and the giant steel letters of our own typeface, Graft, you’ll design and set your words in the bed of the press, ink them up, and use them to make and perfect your giant print which you can take away. Learn all the skills and terminology of letterpress printing, and enjoy the unique thrill of peeling back the paper to see the prints that you’ve created yourself. Your tutor

 Oli Bentley has worked as a graphic designer since he set up Split whilst a music student in 2007, opening the studio of the same name 3 years later. He works extensively in the music, arts and non-profit sectors, also creating self initiated work as a designer/graphic artist, letterpress printer and type designer. Oli is the founder of the press – born from his award-winning exhibition and book, These Northern Types – and designed its large steel typeface, Graft. More recently he has created the Brico type system in collaboration with Anthony Burrill and Thomas Mayo – created to work with community groups on large-scale murals and so that anyone might share in the joy of type designing at a massive scale. What to expect

 You’ll work in a team of five, including Oli, for three hours. Couples can attend to make one print together, or to make a matching pair; two tickets would be needed. Each of you will make a print of your own design, and help the others set and print their own designs too. Working on the People Powered Press can’t be rushed – it’s a leisurely, creative process that brings people together, always provoking really interesting conversation while you’re making your print. You’ll set the individual letters – weighing in at around 2kg each – in the bed of the press and learn how to space them and lock them in place, then ink them up and use them to create your giant print. You’ll also get to hear the whole strange tale behind the creation of the People Powered Press – designed to amplify local voices and spread words worth spreading as part of Split’s 2018 project, These Northern Types – and its accidental world record. What to bring with you Clothes that you wouldn’t mind getting a little bit dirty, though we'll provide you with a fetching apron. If you have long hair, please bring something you can use to tie it back, and don’t wear anything too flowy, especially baggy sleeves, to avoid getting trapped in the press’s roller or dangling in the ink.

Flexibility: We recognise that attendees will have a variety of competing time commitments and are happy to provide flexibility to help participants complete this training. If one or two sections are missed within the two day training then we are happy to send over training slides afterwards and allow attendees to complete activities retrospectively. If more than a quarter of the two day content is missed however then this would not be realistic and the participant would need to rebook on the training to complete the course (see below for cancellation policy).

As well as combining the best parts of synthpop and electro, Matt brings a glorious set of visuals which will keep you captivated throughout. Geraldine Snell Mesmerising, melodic, and melancholic, Geraldine's tender electronic dream-pop is often compared to the likes of Cocteau Twins, Portishead, and Julee Cruise. Crafted from looped and sampled keys, vocals, and textures, Geraldine will perform a unique set featuring songs from her third album "overlove" as well as more improvised medleys. Gilank Gilank are a Bradford-based experimental electro-acoustic duo consisting of Alice Gilmour and Shi Blank. They combine loopers, pedals, synths, MIDI controllers, and acoustic instruments to create a unique and dynamic sound. Their sets are fluid, and spontaneous, with each response shaping the evolving composition as they build upon each other's input. Information Source: Northern Freeze Records | eventbrite

10am - 4pm with Carol Trevor. Awareness and research relating to neurodiversity are growing, but it remains a new area for many yoga teachers. It is estimated that about 1 in 7 people in the UK are neuro-diverse or neuro-divergent. Women are increasingly learning that they are neuro-diverse, sometimes in their 40s or 50s, while many remain undiagnosed. Join us in this CPD day to explore the practicalities of how the lived experiences of neurodiversity (including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and dyspraxia) are best placed to inform our teaching approach. Why can yoga be so helpful and what is problematic? Discover too how the unique needs, gifts and challenges of these populations elevate our teaching skills and outlook overall, and often for the benefit of the whole class. £80 Information Source: Heather Yoga | eventbrite
