I'm working on some cute St Patrick's decor for upcoming workshops. Contact me to book a workshop soon. These set of 3 blocks are perfect together or spread out around your house or in your tiered tray. #chalkynation #stpattysday #stpatricksday #paintnights #workshopideas #workshop #paintnightfun #paintclass (at West Mifflin, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrxslyL__m/?utm_medium=tumblr

How important is a workflow for you? Are your machines all on designated spaces or mobile? Most of my heavy machines used to sit on a table. I had to lift them up (ouch! my back!) and move to the workbench to use. It wasn't efficient and in fact dangerous a bit. Therefore I've built a bunch of carts for those machines. Each one has its own cart/cabinet which glides on excellent quality casters from @kregjig. Carts also provide well organized storage space. Easy to deploy, easy to park back. #workfkow #workshop #woodworker #tip #workshopideas #workshopsolutions #dilna #wood #quicktip #choob #atölye #warsztat #warsztatdomowy #atelier #taller #cart #caster #cabinet #cabinetmaking #maker #marcenaria #carpintería #planer #apron #mobility #buildwithme #travaildubois #kerjakayu #ağaç #plywoodfurniture (at Alexandria, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErS7BFjsFF/?igshid=1ejv2l8pswflj

Improv Stars!

As some of our young people are working through their revision for their exams we wanted to continue the idea of the power of positivity we’ve been loosely working on across the last few sessions. We want to make sure that they are going into those exam rooms with a real ‘can-do’ attitude, knowing that they have the ability and are ready and able to do their best.

As they’ve been cooped up a lot we started with a (very) lively drama improv warm up, based around the idea of everyone going around the town looking for a particular old lady (and everyone getting more and more frustrated when no-one seems to know where she is!) If someone laughed, then they were out, so a LOT of self-control was needed.

Improv is well known for developing and encouraging lots of transferrable soft skills, you need to be able to think quickly on your feet, be reactive and it helps your communication skills. With our group we were working in English (not their first language so even more challenging for them!)

We then moved on to an exercise around stars, each person wrote their name in the middle of the star and then it was passed around the circle and each person wrote a compliment to the person named in the middle. We do exercises like this fairly frequently as unfortunately our arts centre is one of the few places that those we work with do receive positive reinforcement. This type of exercise encourages unity and a group support system.
