‘Fragmented Worlds’ Collage Workshop with artist Claire Halpin, inspired by The Dream Pools exhibition of work by artist Ailbhe Ní Bhriain.
Join artist Claire Halpin for an introduction to the work of Ailbhe Ní Bhriain in the exhibition The Dream Pool Intervals beginning with a Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) Tour. Explore themes of fragility in human connection and meaning-making in an increasingly fragmented world through this practical artmaking collage workshop.
Use multimedia to connect with the techniques, materials, and tools used in the fabrication of the tapestries in the exhibition. Create an artwork that weaves together your own narrative.
No experience required and materials are supplied.
There is a break from 12-12.30pm.
