Artist-led workshop: Collage Portraits with Vanessa Crosse and Dezeta Fantie
Join artists Vanessa Crosse and Dezeta Fantie to produce a colourful collage self-portrait in this unique workshop.
AM: 10.30am-12pm
PM: 2.30pm-4pm
Taking inspiration from 'The Time is Always Now' exhibition and in particular Njideka Akunyili Crosby's ‘Still You Bloom in This Land of Gardens’, you'll create a vibrant, highly personal multimedia collage featuring layered images and patterns.
You'll use a variety of materials and techniques including image transfer, stencilling and typography while your portrait’s skin tone will be imbued with assorted colours as a nod to the work of artists such as Amy Sherald and Kerry James Marshall who make bold statements with their portrayal of skin colour.
Bring a selection of two-three photos of yourself to the workshop. They need to be portrait A5 and printed on ordinary photocopy paper.
Beginners welcome.
