Come along to this unique workshop combining visual art and writing based on the theme of spoken language and dialect.

Led by writer and photographer Lydia Hounat, you will create a brand new work of art using fragments of tiles, ceramics and mirrors. Your own writing will be central to this new ceramic self-portrait which you will take with you at the end of the workshop. In addition, you will contribute to a collective work with the group focussed on bringing marginalised voices into the foreground. This workshop will provide you with new techniques for how to use your voice and dialect as part of a bold and dynamic creative practice. 

Booking Link Coming Soon.
