Women and domesticity – What’s Your Perspective? Meditating the materiality of the duster

Facilitated by Vanessa Marr, this workshop is open to all staff and students

A practical workshop developing intuitive drawing-focused responses to Vanessa’s collaborative research project, which explores the relationship between women and domesticity through an open call for perspectives and experiences to be embroidered upon a duster.

Participants will be invited to consider and then to respond to the domestic theme by drawing with thread upon the duster, with the cloth itself positioned as a domestic object for contemplation and focus. Drawings can be applied directly to the duster as an aide to meditating the materiality of the cloth or drawn and then applied to the duster afterwards if preferred. Conscious and unconscious investigation of the duster through drawing will remain a focus in each instance.

Participants will be invited to include their duster in the growing and regularly exhibited collection.
