In Kidderminster we recently held onsite watercolour participation classes  and had some amazing results.  We used  a range of our products to demonstrate the intermixability and encourage, in a hands on way, an understanding of “what is in the box” among the team here.   Plenty of time is spent processing orders, receipting goods and packaging for customers without any actual product contact and those who participated thoroughly enjoyed their lesson.  Artist Leanne Ellis led the lessons.

Am Wochenende vom 23.06-24.06.23 war ich mit meinem herausragenden Kollegen und Künstler Reiner Behrends bei der Urban Skechters Darmstadt, es war eine Jubiläumsveranstaltung 10 Jahre Urban Skechters Darmstadt. Wir haben eine sehr schöne Präsentation für W&N aufgebaut und Reiner hat alle Materialien von W&N für die Aquarellmalerei gezeigt. Wir hatten sehr gute Gespräche und haben viel Lob und Anerkennung vom Publikum und den Veranstaltern erhalten, was die W&N-Produkte betrifft. Es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Vielen Dank auch an #reiner_behrends (Instagram) und #uskrheinmain (Instagram)

To mark World Refugee week I thought you would like to see some of the recent  work created by the students from the Kukuma refugee camp as a result of the Hands On art workshops. With thanks to Ajita, who took on the huge task to ship the first art materials to Kukuma, the workshops have gone from strength to strength, providing opportunities for emerging artists and designers, attracting educational scholarships, donations and enabling progression. For anyone who did not see the Town Hall last year in WRW, this programme was set up in 2015 by artist Lisa Milroy with support from Vodafone and UNHCR, the UN refugee agency as an educational initiative to facilitate dialogue and exchange between artists and students in Kukuma refugee camp, through the delivery of practical art workshops via video conferencing.   These weekly workshops are led by the brilliant artist and coach Joseph Yona Deng and now attract sponsorships to enable further educational opportunities as well funding the other equipment needs  and facilities.
