Design and decorate handmade Valentine cards using collage and drawing. Notes can be made for loved ones, friends, or a special message for yourself!

Explore chance in the process of making. Make art without worrying about perfection, and allowing experimentation into the mix.

In this workshop, we will take inspiration from works of art and make collages that reflect us. Things that we like, that we find interesting – lines, colours and shapes that create our inner landscape.

In this workshop participants will have a look in reflections in art history and contemporary art and will have the opportunity to play with mirrors and make experimental drawings by observing reflections of objects. They will also be doing symmetrical paper cutting, and experimental prints inspired by the Rorschach test.

Saturday 14 March – Trompe L’Oleil Workshop

This workshop is inspired by the artists in the show like Gavin Turk and Dan Colen, who make art that “tricks the eye’’, making it look different than what it is or is made from.

These workshops are free of charge, with a suggested donation amount of £5. If you wish to support our charity, we would greatly appreciate a donation so we can continue to make art accessible to all. Select the donation price when booking, or donate in person at the Gallery.
