Description

STIPPLING DRAWING WORKSHOP WITH EMMA-LEE MAHER

AT VESSEL CONTEMPORARY

Wednesday 09 September

6pm-7.30pm

A free, hands-on workshop with First Nations Artist in Residence Emma-Lee Maher. Participants are encouraged to bring an object of significance. It doesn’t have to be shiny or rare or valuable just something that holds a story or feeling.

Led by Emma-lee the group will begin with a few drawing exercises to loosen up before turning our attention to the Frankenstein’s Monster shared still life of our objects.

Together, our objects will create a new story, bringing our complementary and colliding tales into conversation with each other.

Stippling is a slow, meditative process of mark making (hopefully more calming than painstaking), so there’s no expectation of finishing a complete work. This workshop is about trying something new, making something to continue with at home and connecting with others.

Materials provided, bring one small object of personal significance to use as a prompt.

Vessel: Where historic space meets contemporary art. Transforming the Naval Store into a place for dynamic, site-responsive creativity that sparks societal change.

At Vessel, we boldly declare ourselves as the future. We firmly believe in the power of contemporary art and creativity as catalysts for change. Our mission is to provide a unique independent voice, a dedicated exhibition space, and a non-profit contemporary arts organisation.

We are a catalyst of artistic and creative growth, nurturing early and mid-career artistic and curatorial practices. Vessel prioritises peer to peer learning and professional development to foster critical arts practices that dare to challenge the current political, environmental and societal norms.

Our home is at the Naval Store, a unique industrial space at the entryway to Walyalup, that holds great significance in the historic, cultural and creative fabric of Fremantle. Vessel’s program highlights the importance of the arts to create dialogue and debate about the relationship between art and society, reflecting on contemporary issues and challenges that we face as a community, both locally and internationally. We aspire to catalyse artistic practices and foster meaningful public exchange.
