Inspired by the collaboration of artists Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska, artist Hannelore Baxter will introduce you to the exhibition at Kettle’s Yard and work with you to creatively explore the themes and ideas. Together we will use techniques from drawing and collage to gelli-plate printing layered with text and sound to create a new work.

Please bring a packed lunch – lunch is not included.

After exploring the Lubaina Himid with Magda Stawarska: Another Chance Encounter exhibition, we’ll come together in the Clore Learning Studio. Together we will make and paint a life-sized cardboard installation of doorways, conversations and we’ll think about what is visible and what is hidden.
