Narrandera Arts - What Happens if.... art workshops
The Narrandera Arts and Creative Network CASP Funded workshop series "What happens if..." begins on Saturday 19th May with 6 more workshops to follow and an exhibition of the outcomes at the end of the year.
The workshops have been designed to explore the concept of scarce resources, collaboration and different techniques. Each workshop will be broken into 3 key parts.
- Part 1: Technique
- Part 2: Work on individual pieces exploring technique
- Part 3: Work together creating a collaborative piece/s
While the workshops have been designed so they can be attended individually, they will progressively work through different techniques that build as they along. The pieces you create in workshop 1 will be used in workshop 2, then these pieces in workshop 3 and so on.
A key aim of the project is to support collaboration, build relationships and make connections among the broader Narrandera community and surrounding areas through fun and creative processes. There’s plenty of opportunity to ‘play’ with different materials and methods, expand your thinking and sense of fun as well as meet some new people.
