This is an experimental workshop and could suit people interested in drawing, painting, printmaking and making artists books or quilts. We will be exploring the local landscape of Sofala and possibly Hill End, through photography, drawing, painting, rubbings and gathering found objects. With this repertoire, and local mapping and historical information, we will make quick spontaneous explorations to reduce, imbed, and layer this subject matter together to create images that deal with more than just a “what you see is what you get” image. The experimental work will be bound into a simple reference book, and some more stand alone works on paper will be completed.
