This experimental workshop with artist Christopher Cook will introduce collage techniques developed by the Surrealist movement that also influence his work in the current exhibition, Making a Masterpiece: Bouts and Beyond.
Whilst the advent of software such as Photoshop has
largely overtaken such physical strategies, his workshop will emphasise its relevance, especially to interactive group activities, as a means to unlock the imagination and open up new narratives.
Please note that the event is 10.30 am – 12.30 pm and 2 pm – 4 pm.
Fee is included in gallery admission but please, book through our events page here.
