Mental Health day at Inkwell, Chapel Allerton

I went to Inkwell in Chapel Allerton which is a community arts space. I went there to volounteer for Leeds Love Art Mental Health festival. I met a bloke there called Steve Willingham who is a Leeds Based artist who produces these paintings. He works in a similar medium to me in that he uses fine liners, paint markers and inks. Ive posted this as something to aim towards in line work and symmetry which I struggle with.

I also spoke to the folk who run the venue with the idea of volounterring for them, which they said was definitely ok. I would be working in place with some fairly great resources. They have a kiln and produce some great models. They also have a lot of painters who go there. The venue is for people with mental health problems to go and create art in a community.

The only problem was that the days for volounterring fall on thursday and friday when I am busy with college. I'm going to contact them again after christmas.
