Using a variety of materials, create your own layered work like Mehretu does in some of her large scale pieces. At Kettle’s Yard, explore the House and new building, thinking about these spaces as a starting point for your own collage. Work with artist Stephanie Hartick on your own artwork to take home.
Participants will be encouraged to think about the environment around them, at Kettle’s Yard, and in Cambridge, in new ways.

Made in 1986 during a performance in which Rose Garrard transformed a corner shop into a plaster casting studio, these sculptures juxtapose images of historic women artists and page three girls from the Sun newspaper. They are both a document of the gender politics of the 1980s, and a protest at the exclusion of women artists from the history of art and the objectification of women in the British press. This is the first time the works have been exhibited since 1994.
Artist Rachel McGivern will work with the young participants to decide the range of techniques and materials that they will use across the programme.
Previous sessions included screen-printing, block-printing drawing and animation workshops all inspired by the Kettle’s Yard collection and exhibitions.
