Inspired by Lubaina Himid’s ‘Flying Carpet’ artwork, we will create our own artwork and develop patterns by things we discover at Kettle’s Yard using collage, paints, pastels and exploring what these materials can become together.

Inspired by the collaboration of artists Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska, artist Hannelore Baxter will introduce you to the exhibition at Kettle’s Yard and work with you to creatively explore the themes and ideas. Together we will use techniques from drawing and collage to gelli-plate printing layered with text and sound to create a new work.

Please bring a packed lunch – lunch is not included.

We will explore the Kettle’s Yard house where we will look high, low and round corners to find the hidden faces in the collection, including some from our current exhibition Lubaina Humid with Magda Stawarska: Another Chance Encounter.

During the workshop we will play with portraits using traces, mirrors and copies to reimagine the people in the collection and create our own unique artwork and portraits.

Discover how the Kettle’s Yard house has inspired artists Lubaina and Magda and have a go at creating your own giant artwork inspired by what you discover at Kettle’s Yard today.

After exploring the Lubaina Himid with Magda Stawarska: Another Chance Encounter exhibition, we’ll come together in the Clore Learning Studio. Together we will make and paint a life-sized cardboard installation of doorways, conversations and we’ll think about what is visible and what is hidden.
