We will explore the Kettle’s Yard house where we will look high, low and round corners to find the hidden faces in the collection, including some from our current exhibition Lubaina Humid with Magda Stawarska: Another Chance Encounter.

During the workshop we will play with portraits using traces, mirrors and copies to reimagine the people in the collection and create our own unique artwork and portraits.

Discover how the Kettle’s Yard house has inspired artists Lubaina and Magda and have a go at creating your own giant artwork inspired by what you discover at Kettle’s Yard today.

Please see our website for more information and FAQs.

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.

Please bring a packed lunch – lunch is not included.

Please see our website for full FAQs.

Check out the artworks on display, get hands-on in a workshop, spark ideas in a talk, or simply relax to live music with good food and great company.
