Who

Join artist Kaitlin Ferguson in the Clore Learning Studio for a free, interactive workshop all about how art and technology work together.

Using iPads to make drawings inspired by the natural world, you will explore how technology can help us look creatively at the world around us. Kaitlin will also introduce you to her 3D printer, and the materials she uses to print with – including coffee beans!

You will learn new art techniques and skills and explore new ways of creative thinking in a safe and supported space.

This workshop is open to all children aged 8-12.

About CoLAB

This event is part of our summer programme, CoLAB. CoLAB brings together our local community, an artist, and researchers at the University of Cambridge to think creatively and have fun. As a group, you will creatively explore and assist research that is currently underway at the University, and everyone is invited to join in.

Join artist Kaitlin Ferguson in the Clore Learning Studio, which she has transformed into a creative research lab. You will work with Kaitlin to learn new art techniques and skills and new ways of creative thinking in a safe and supported space.

You will be working together to explore research currently being undertaken by Dr Louise Hickman at the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy. Louise is investigating how people with a diverse range of needs physically access arts and culture in the city and how this will inform the future of work. By exploring this topic creatively and with local voices, CoLAB will produce new data that responds to the city’s priorities.

Everyone who takes part in CoLAB will have their thoughts, reflections, and artworks collected, and will help to inspire a ‘Living Archive’. Kaitlin will bring this archive together and it will be shared back to the academics and researchers.
