Let's get creative together and paint a beautiful fabric mural in the church!

Saint Leonards Church Market

In this workshop members of the public are invited to contribute to creating a collective drawing/painting working along the aisle of the church. Participants will be able to combine traditional drawing tools like charcoal with alternative materials like beetroot and coffee. Participants are encouraged to think about what plants mean to them and to expand along the length of the canvas growing their work and connecting their drawings with other people's. Prompts will be provided if additional inspiration is needed. Thereafter the work will be displayed in the space for the duration of the festival.

Artist bio: Laura Ribbons’ work explores our relationship with plants and the ways in which we connect and coexist with them in the context of the climate crisis, as well as how they alter our experience of place. Her practice asks what we can learn from other species and considers how we can exist together across human and non-human communities. Laura’s work celebrates the strength, resilience and mythology of plants, representing a desire to find solace and resolution in nature. Laura's practice is increasingly informed by her work as an artist facilitator. To date Laura has collaborated with various institutions including Pallant House Gallery, Watts Gallery - Artist Village and with Towner Gallery. Through her facilitation Laura enjoys co-creating work with the public and co-producing large immersive installations on themes including sanctuary, fragile landscapes, place-making and the use of sustainable materials.
