Work with mixed media and experiment with various materials, textures, and colours to create unique and visually engaging compositions.

Tetrapak printmaking

Thursday 29, 10am-1pm or 2pm-5pm
Discover the art of creating drypoint prints with this sustainable medium. You’ll use recycled food and drink cartons; experiment with different tools to cut, score, scratch, and peel; and produce a range of tactile textures and marks both in terms of line and tone. Our approach is playful and experimental. You’ll get test your compositional ideas, combining them with embossing and different inking techniques which will result in various printed outcomes.

Sculpture

Friday 30, 10am-1pm or 2pm-5pm
Inspired by the work of Thomas Hirschorn, Barabara Hepworth and Kara Walker we’ll explore different sculptural techniques and processes, learning how to make small scale models (maquettes) to bring your sculptural ideas to life.

Life drawing

Saturday 31, 10am-12pm or 1pm-3pm or 3:30pm-5:30pm
On Saturday join us for a life drawing workshop. You’ll draw from a live model and use experimental exercises to explore expressive mark-making.

We will be allocating workshops on a first come, first served basis. In the first instance, we will aim for everyone to be allocated their first choice of workshop. If space is available, you may be allocated some, or all workshops you sign-up for.
