Summer Festival

A summer festival running over 3 venues in sunny Shoreditch hosted by Sweet ‘Art with art, music, workshops, artist talks and an art bar crawl!

EVENTS

Drawing Workshop 19th August 17.00-19.00

Draw your own narrative from the exhibition. Through mark-making and drawing participants will explore narrative, illustration and composition - creating a concertina book inspired by the exhibits. Literally tracing their own pencil line across the landscape of the show, participants will be encouraged through line and mark to use the exhibition as a starting point for new imaginings. Led by illustrator and CSM tutor Joanna Layla, participants will each create their own concertina book drawing inspiration from the show to delve into brave new drawn worlds.

Printmaking Workshop 23rd August 11.00-13.00

This is a fun workshop all about screen printmaking. Children will be able to create bold images, exploring colour, shape and texture.

We will be exploring the theme ‘Memories of Summer’ using a range of materials, tools and colours. Children can take away any prints they create! The workshop is open to children from 8 to 12 years old and we ask adults to come along and join the fun too. Our printing workshop will be run by practicing artist Joseph Kopiel.
