Art class of the year

Every year I try to do an art evening class to stretch myself creatively.
Last year it was printing, the year before painting. This year, in October, I am doing something completely different with jewellery making! I am hoping for lots of cathartic hammering and to make things I can give to people.
I am discovering rather than fine art I like to do something that involves making stuff in an interesting craft process, but with lots of design to ponder. I do like working with different materials. I didn’t do the next printing one as it is all etching and engraving, whereas it was the linocut that I really enjoyed.
Next weekend I am doing a one off class in Letterpress where you print with text. I will need to think of a pithy slogan or phrase to print. Sadly, most of my favourite catchphrases are either rude or insulting....

PLEASE do super rude and pretty catchphrases in your prints!! Like those crossstiches with the cursing. Love the juxtaposition.
