The exhibition Mark Work celebrates the joy of mark making in all its forms - stamping, brushing, smearing, rubbing, hammering, tracing. The ability to create through spontaneous and experimental action. As part of Mark Work, we are hosting a rolling cast of tutors for a series of drawing sessions.

Each tutor will suggest alternative ways of tackling a drawing, taking inspiration from the different processes seen in the exhibition.

Mandy Flood’s session will involve fashioning your own customised drawing tool from a long stick and other materials. The length of the implement will place you at least two-arm lengths away from the drawing surface. This introduces an element of distance into the activity so that the familiarity of being seated while making art is removed resulting in a more experimental and less controlled mark making experience.

All materials will be provided. Sessions are 90 minutes long. Suitable for participants aged 10 and over.
