BloomingArt

Here’s our Public opening times for our “More than a Portrait” exhibition.

We’d love to see you all.

I’m so proud of everyone, the work is stunning & they’ve worked to a very tight deadline.
Some of our exhibitors have gone through a huge learning & personal growth journey. I’m very emotional tbh.
Some of these artists couldn’t even get through my door due to their mental health. But after 5 years just look what they’ve accomplished.

I’d also like to thank Kirsty for all of her hard work. She has gone above and beyond, but I knew she would.
My expectations are always extremely high & people that know me, know this. But, this is also a two way street as you get to work with the best artists because their personal bar is also outstanding.

I think you are all going to love it, I’m sure our Queen would be very touched if she saw it.

Remember to book onto our workshops, we’ve still got a few places

I didn’t have chance to finish mine but I’ll add her eye liner and shadows next week.
Portraits isn’t my thing so I’m quite chuffed that with just guidance & no direct help I managed the one on the right.
Thanks so much @tinaramosekongoart for being the absolute best tutor ever.
I’ve had the best time.

Here are some interesting facts about the dandelion flower:

The dandelion is the only flower that represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. ☀️ 🌙 ⭐️. The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep. 😴

Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for coloring.

Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “weeds” like chickweed, malva, and chamomile.

The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. 🦁

Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes. Seeds are often carried as many as 5 miles from their origin!

Animals such as birds, insects and butterflies consume nectar or seed of dandelion.🐦 🐛 🐜 🦋 🐝.

Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seed.

Dandelion can be used in the production of wine and root beer. Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee. 🍷 🍺

Dandelions have sunk their roots deep into history. They were well known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years.

Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders. Tea made of dandelion act as diuretic.

If you mow dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist, masters of survival worldwide. 💪

A not so fun fact: Every year countries spend millions on lawn pesticides to have uniform lawns of non-native grasses, and we use 30% of the country’s water supply to keep them green.

On Thursday the photo level 2 group went on a trip to the TATE Liverpool to the Radical Landscapes exhibition.

We had such a great time, the exhibition was fantastic but because we're all photographers and Liverpool is so visually amazing it took us so long to walk from the station to the gallery we didn't get as long as we would have liked at the exhibition! but hey, was a great day.

They're all superstars 📸🌟⭐⭐🌟⭐⭐📸

I always love sharing what Bloomingart helps happen. Year after year I've been blown away by the strength of our cohort & that they feel safe and strong enough to move forward.
Many years ago, among many other student's, I taught a lady on Creative Remedies who several years ago couldn't even stay for 15 mins as her anxiety was so severe. Borough Council Council England
After lots and lots of time to mend and developing her confidence as well as successfully completing Arts Accredited courses. Dawn will be delivering her own Workshop at our Queens Platinum Jubilee Event.
How utterly phenomenal.

That feeling when you’ve actually completed writing for a funding bid application in the same day. 😳
It normally takes me days, sometimes longer.
Hopefully third time lucky this year? As we've been so fortunate to be successful in our last two applications.
The bid I’ve wrote is to put a half day workshop on each week running throughout the year for those suffering loss.

After losing my Mum in Feb & also listening to our cohort & beyond. I want to lead a creative workshop in our Safe Haven where people can celebrate people’s lives.

The at Bewsey Rd gave my Mum the most magical send off ever.

We hope to buy heat presses etc. We also would like to create Celebration of life Memory Books etc. ### 🦋

It going to be phenomenal.

We had such a wonderful time @tinaramosekongoart portrait workshop today.
It’s a rare occasion that I take time out to attend an art workshop but I just couldn’t pass up this opportunity.
Tina took us through a process of learning using circles and observation. It was such a brilliant class.

I got so much from this workshop & I can highly recommend.
I’m so looking forward to next weeks class.
There’s still a few places if anyone wants to book.

@tinaramosekongoart is also delivering a portrait workshop during our workshop on Sunday 5th June 12 - 3 pm
