(SOLD OUT) Workshop: Exploring composition through collage and frottage
Sunday 24 March 2024, 12pm & 1.30pm
By taking rubbings from our immediate surroundings, we will find new ways of seeing what is around us and explore the creative possibilities of what is at hand. The workshop will take as a prompt Max Ernst’s less known frottage work and demonstrate the exciting possibilities of composition, colour and texture in developing artwork.
This workshop is led by Nadine Christensen. It is open to all skill levels, and suitable for school-aged children if accompanied by a parent.
