Join Wangaratta Art Gallery artist in residence Elizabeth Willing for a very special workshop using the humble potato to create extraordinary and beautiful results. In this workshop the artist invites you to explore dynamic rhizome forms and subtle layering with these humble materials to create a unique artwork printed on fabric.

Brisbane based artist Elizabeth Willing has been utilising potato printing processes in her practice for over 10 years. Her works are performative and often participatory explorations of food as an art material. Primarily working in sculpture, installation, and performance, her work additionally takes the form of concept dinners, collaborative performances that use the dining table as stage for interactive designs and experiences. Elizabeth Willing will spend three weeks in the region from late January 2024, researching and developing new work for a solo exhibition at Wangaratta Art Gallery in 2025.
