Your creations will be inspired by the Handpicked: Painting Flowers exhibition and artworks and objects on display in the Kettle’s Yard house, resulting in new and unique floral artworks to take home.
During the session we will briefly visit both the exhibition and house. We will be using clay, plaster and trying some fun printmaking methods.
Inspired by Japanese artist Kenji Umeda, the session will move between drawing, making and looking. Using simple materials and a playful approach, participants will explore how a line can become a structure, a sculpture can become a drawing, and how small forms can hold surprising ideas.
Participants will leave with drawings, sculptures, and a new way of seeing the relationship between them.
Explore the Kettle’s Yard house and current exhibition Handpicked: Painting Flowers from 1900 to Today, discovering how different artists express themselves through their paintings. Join artist Damaris in the Clore Learning Studio and get expressive using charcoal mark-making and acrylic paints.
There will be picture books, drawing materials, sensory play resources, as well as tips and ideas to help you enjoy your visit.
All welcome, especially suitable for families with babies and young children.
