INTRO TO WOODBLOCK PRINTING

**Bookable via our website ➡️** [https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/intro-to-woodblock-printing-5](https://www.thegoodlifecentre.co.uk/events/intro-to-woodblock-printing-5) **⋆⋆⋆** **Course:** Intro Wood Block Printing **Suitable for:** Suitable for beginners. No prior experience is required. **About:** Spend a day learning to cut a wood block to create layered relief prints. Printing onto paper. This one day course is a great introduction to the craft of reduction woodcut printing onto ‘Awagami’ paper. Even if you have never cut into a piece of wood or have any artistic experience, You will be able to explore your creativity and learn wood cutting methods to create prints. You will be guided through the techniques to carve your own woodblock, creating a layered image as the surface of the block is cut away at each stage, printing each new colour as you go. A single block will be carved and printed in layers, lightest to darkest, until a final unique piece reveals itself. You will learn to use different woodcarving tools to make various cuts into your woodblock taking inspiration from iconic Japanese woodcut prints (like The Great Wave of Kanagawa), well known artists, nature, and patterns to create your own design with guidance from tutor Ollie Norris, or perhaps you may already have your own designs in mind? The woodcuts are shallow and do not require great strength to make, so the workshop is open to all abilities. All use of tools and materials supplied Bring an apron or wear old clothes in case some of the paint jumps onto you.

Harms mapping: What's the worst that could happen?

Most teams are good at asking can we build it? Far fewer have a practice for asking what happens if we do? Harms mapping is that practice. It's a structured way of finding the ways a product, service or experience could hurt people, early enough that you can still do something about it. Not a compliance exercise, and not a feel-good one either. Teams that do it well find opportunities others miss, avoid expensive rework, and build things people actually trust. This is a working session, not a talk. UX for Change Fellow, Christina Lai, will introduce the method, and then we'll use it on something real. **The real thing:** East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity turning a 14-acre former depot on Lea Bridge Road into a biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. They're also our partners on the UX for Change Fellowship. They do something remarkable: they invite people to help shape something that doesn't exist yet. Children, residents, people whose views on green space have never been asked for. We'll map the harms in that invitation: what it promises, who it reaches, who it leaves out, and what it costs the people who say yes. **Why this matters beyond ELWP:** The EU AI Act contains two duties worth knowing about. One demands to tell people when they're talking to a machine and mark AI-generated content. The other requires you to work out who could be harmed and how, before you deploy, and say what you'll do when it happens. On 2 August, the first became enforceable. The second isn't due until December 2027. You don't have to wait for the law to ask the questions. That's what this evening is about. **What you'll leave with:** Not mastery. One evening doesn't make a practice, and we're not going to pretend it does. You'll leave having done it once, with a story about what surfaced that's worth telling your team next day, and with a few questions that are hard to unsee once you've asked them of your own work. Who it's for: designers, researchers, product people, engineers, anyone who makes decisions about what gets built. No prior experience needed. **Free spots available** We believe access to these conversations matters. If you'd like to be considered for one of the 5 free tickets, please fill out this short form: 👉[https://forms.gle/YgPFKeSXtZDMVaVU9](https://forms.gle/YgPFKeSXtZDMVaVU9) Bring anything that you like to bring to a workshop and an open mind. We'll do the rest. Doors 5:30. We start at 6:00 sharp and finish at 8:30 pm

AI Exchange October ft. humanoid robots from AWS

Join us on Wednesday 7th October as AI Exchange takes over AWS Farringdon for a night that’s set to be one of our biggest yet. **[AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/?nc2=h_home&refid=ea4f1bda-c329-47b3-a6d0-278045ca3aea)** are bringing along ARI, their humanoid robot to the AI Exchange for a live look at just how far physical AI has come. From robots breaking human records to the everyday tasks they still can’t master, this talk dives into humanoid robotics, World Models and what it will really take to close the gap between humans and machines. We also have a fascinating talk from **[Faculty](https://faculty.ai/en-gb)**, sharing how they’re using AI to tackle terrorist propaganda online, helping platforms automatically detect Daesh content and deploy the technology securely. **[Aries Global](https://www.aries.global/)** are diving into why good documentation and coding principles aren’t always enough when agents take over, and how harsh linters, static code checks and architecture enforcement can make sure AI generated code actually meets your standards before it gets anywhere near production. Doors open at 6:30pm and talks start at 7:00pm sharp. RSVP as soon as you can to secure your space. \*Please note - There is a potential space for a third speaker too. If anyone’s keen to get involved and has something exciting to share, please [click here](forms.gle/gMBEyAyyLmA1iQAe7) to submit a talk. **Agenda:** **[Ben Atkinson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bgmatkinson/), GenAI & Agentic AI Specialist @ AWS** **Humans vs. Humanoids: Who Wins — and Do World Models Change Everything? Featuring ARI the humanoid Robot** A robot just broke Usain Bolt's 100m record — then crashed because it couldn't stop. Is that the story of physical AI in 2026? superhuman at the spectacular, hopeless at the everyday. A robot can sprint faster than the fastest human alive but it still can't fold a towel. Join me for a fast, myth-busting tour of AI humanoid robotics, world models, and the real gap between human and machine. Expect live thought experiments, hard numbers, and a look at what's coming next from emerging fields like World Models — the technology Yann LeCun just left Meta and raised $1.03 billion to build. **[Callum Pender](https://www.linkedin.com/in/callumpender/), Machine Learning Engineer @ Faculty** **Identifying terrorist propaganda** The Faculty team partnered with the Home Office to build a model that helps smaller online content platforms automatically detect Daesh propaganda videos. The talk will explore the use case, the solution and the impact of this tool and how Faculty approaches technical deployment in highly secure domains. Callum Pender is a Machine Learning Engineer at Faculty with a wealth of experience working within the National security domain, he has successfully designed, built and deployed AI solutions to solve real world problems across a large number of different clients. **[Nicholas Greenwood](https://www.linkedin.com/in/n--/),** **Head of Engineering @ Aries Global** **Agents don't care about your codebase** You can write kiss, dry and yagni all over the place. You can add a skill for every task. You can have great documentation. You can ask another agent to review the first agent. They still don't care. they just do whatever is simpler. You need many more static code checks than you think. A pr that doesn't comply with your standards must not pass ci. I'll cover the repo changes that worked for me: Harsh linters and formatters, static code checks that enforce architecture, clear error messages. We hope to see you there for another great AI filled evening! **Sponsors...** The AI Exchange is brought to you in partnership with[ LinuxRecruit](https://www.linuxrecruit.co.uk/) and[ AWS.](https://aws.amazon.com/) LinuxRecruit is building the next wave of Tech Unicorns in Europe.
