Work resulting from a CPD course I facilitated for teachers from South East Northumberland, exploring the potential of instructions and play in making space for creativity. We combined poetic, playful imagery with excerpts of bureaucratic texts, wrote impossible instructions for each other and created an alternative learning resource in the form of a zine. Made as part of the B&b Residency with BALTIC and bait and exhibited as part of the exhibition Common Ground at the Woodhorn Museum and BALTIC.
