What we'll do

Week 1: Sound Vessels, with artist Teresa Paiva. We will be working with lots of building and making materials including clay, cardboard and plaster to create our own noisy tactile vessels. At the end of the workshop we bring our creations to life with a collective musical performance, exploring sound and movement together! Week 2: Print-making, with artist Rachel McGivern. We will be exploring texture and pattern through hands-on printmaking using everyday and found materials. We will explore collagraph plates, ink pads and layered prints using plasticine stamps. You can work, big, small, individually or collectively to create all different types of prints! Week 3: Painting and Drawing, with artist Rachel McGivern. In this session we will be exploring mark-making, movement and sensory materials using lots of different drawing tools, spray bottles and even swinging pendulums! We will also play with music and light projections to enhance your creations. Week 4: Designing Dream Spaces, with artist Rachel McGivern. Designing and building large-scale dream structures using cardboard boxes and found materials alongside smaller scale options for drawing and collage to develop ideas inspired by buildings and environments. What would your Dream Space look like? About our space: sessions will take place in our dedicated studio space at MK Gallery. It offers a private, low-pressure place for small groups to get creative. There is always a comfy chill out area, drinks and snacks, and we also have lots of outdoor space to use if you would like to.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
