Leeds College of Art invited Generation Press and our Adopted Northerner to visit them and give a talk to their third year graphic students.
-
Presenting the story of Generation Press with Anand (GP's official Adopted Northerner;-). A home coming for An& and my first visit to Leeds. We talked about the history of Generation Press; our ethos, our thinking on printing and the value of print. We talked about collaborations GP had been involved with, including the current one with An&. A show-and-tell plus a good open forum at the end which was great to be a part of.
-
Being honoured and humbled that we should be invited, I can only say what an inspiration it was to meet everyone involved at the LCA, students and teachers alike. Particularly Amber, who looked after us and made me feel so welcome and Fred the course leader, who I was quite frankly in awe of. I was inspired by Fred and his dedication to the furtherment of his students and the graphics course. Set in a stimulating environment, the course gains full respect of it's staff and students, Fred and his team quite possibly have created a blueprint on how graphic students should be taught. It's the combination of artistic freedom, application and hard graft that make this course so special.
-
To end great days like this one, it was off to sample the night life, a beer first with Fred and Amber, then off to meet some of An&'s mates, mainly other graduates from his course, all sporting some pretty cool hair do's that An& rather enjoyed ruffling!

Proper good! Thank you Leeds!

Christmas this year at Generation Press was a little different and all held under the guise of 'Staff Training'...
-
We went to a local outdoor activities centre - 'Q-Leisure'. Chosen by Paul because he knows that particular course well - (already having spent a day racing on it for a stag party a few months ago). So, thanks to the wet weather the track conditions were also looking good for Paul (wet track is far more easily held by people of a 'heavier' build), with everything in Paul's favour , he didn't disappoint. He stormed round the course like lightening with a slightly crazed look in his eye. Then finally we all got to applaud and congratulate him as he lifted his gold trophy to the skies with a tear in his eye. Well done Scrub from all of us! We understood early on that to get the best out of the day it was of course imperative to let the boss win!
After a hearty lunch it was time to do some archery, this Graham-slam-Dunk won with ease. Then the Quad biking, great fun if you like bikes with 4 wheels and getting really muddy. After the outdoor fun we headed home to where the family business originated in Hurstpierpoint and the local pub. In front of the open fire we shared exaggerated stories from the day, and told one another how much we love each other. Merriment was had by all, particularly our Adopted Northerner Anand. Who kept us laughing all night, for a Northerner he's pretty funny;-)

I am sure this poster strikes a chord in all of us! Steve Price had mentioned a Charity that had not got back to him on an offer he had made to them, so I remembered that I had recently been reading an interesting Blog from a designer on the subject of Autism, they were also helping raise money for someone with Autism. It was then just a simple case of Steve meet Lucy and as Lucy says; 'et voila!'

Lucy Brown is cycling 54 miles to raise money For Jack Armstrong and his parents to help aid them in his continued development. Lucy's studio is based just down the road from Jack and his family in Cheshire. She became fascinated with autism in 2008 and continues to research, both through written and experimental work, the many parallels between the visual thought of designers and the characteristics of Autism. "To be ale to see and understand Jack's condition is something very close to my studio heart. Therefore, to be able to also raise awareness and help his family financially through many miles of cycling and the sales of such an apt poster is nothing short of brilliant."

Jack Armstrong
"Jack Armstrong was born on 19th October 2003. He was a happy and normal baby, although his speech was delayed and at the age of two started speech therapy. Aged three and a half, returning from a family holiday, Jack regressed overnight: he no longer played with his toys, pulled at grass and string, lost all the words he had learnt; he no longer had eye contact and didn’t want to be near people. It took over another year before a diagnosis of Autism was made and Jack started at a special needs school.
At the time of Jack’s fifth birthday, his parents, Natalie and Mark, learnt about the Sonrise programme and, determined to do all they could to help Jack, they converted their garage into a Sonrise play therapy room, recruited a team of volunteers who work to join Jack in his world so as to make him feel comfortable and excited so that he wants to join in with our world and develop social interaction.
Today, thanks to the many hours work from family and volunteers and having just returned from our first trip to the Autism Centre in America, Jack has great eye contact and is making huge strides with his speech and with contact. The aim now is to attend the another Intensive Sonrise course to ensure that Jack’s development continues. Every penny donated will go towards this. Thankyou for your help."
