On Saturdays and Sundays, The Creative Workshop is open to all ages. Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience. Current exhibitions inspire themes and techniques and can be adapted to individual abilities. Our art educators are on-site to help you get started.
The current theme in our open workshop is the exhibition Belkis Ayón / Mythologies. Ayón is one of Cuba’s most prominent artists, and the exhibition highlights a creative peak in her short career. She worked with collography, a printmaking technique that she refined and used in new ways. The figures, symbols, and rituals in her works are drawn from Abakuá, a secret Afro-Cuban brotherhood that she explored throughout her artistic practice. In The Creative Workshop, we take inspiration from faith, religion, myths, stories, and symbols to create our collagraph prints. Contribute to the growing collective wall of images that will unfold over the autumn.
The creative workshop is open and staffed: Saturday–Sunday, 12:00–17:00 Drop-in, free admission.
