This week Girl Talk was all about getting to know each other better - just big sisters and little sisters in a smaller group. Pairs played some drawing games together. One that's always fun is doing blind contour portraits of each other. As a re-fresher, blind contours are drawings you make while looking at the person you're drawing, never looking at the paper, and never lifting up your pencil! There was a lot of laughing going on.
Pairs also played a game we affectionately call "candy reach." Each pair stands in their hula hoop they made the first night, and Tesni scatters some candy around them, outside the hoop. Some are just out of reach and some are actually really far away! The pairs then work together to figure out a way to reach the candy. There were some pretty awesome acrobatics going on, using tools like pencils and pens, and a lot of giggling and high fives.
When the group came back together, everyone headed into the letterpress studio to learn a bit about letterpress printing with Jordan. Then each pair printed covers for the hand-made journals they would be making! Jordan worked with each pair in the printing studio while the group finished up their inspiration boards in the other room.
Next week we'll be able to use the covers printed tonight and learn about bookmaking!
