Art on Saturdays: Exploring Sculpture with Anderson Hunt

Join Anderson Hunt in a model making workshop, drawing on the gallery, its gardens and wetland environment as an inspiration. Participants will be encouraged to develop ideas using the redevelopment of the gallery as an impetus for a new imagined public artwork. Using a range of materials and mixed media, you will produce sculptural forms and artwork models.

All materials and equipment will be supplied, although you can bring ideas, photos and sketchbooks. Tea and coffee supplied. Please bring your own lunch.
