Join The Private Press and Annie Frost Nicholson at They Made This for a fun and engaging workshop exploring memory, through screenprinting, painting and collage.
In the 1 hour workshop you will be able to screen print simple versions of certain images taken from Annie’s paintings (such as the Walkman and Nokia phone), and then add to it by collaging, drawing and painting, following prompts from Frost Nicholson to explore memory in diverse ways, asking participants to reflect upon how objects hold multiple narratives. There will be the opportunity to share your work with the group. Creativity as catharsis!
Don’t worry if you’ve never tried screenprinting before (no experience is needed), we’ll guide you through every step of the process. At the end of the workshop you will be able to take away your own A4 artwork.
This workshop celebrates the opening of the new exhibition byAnnie Frost Nicholson ’And my mother said to me, enjoy your life’ at They Made This in King's Cross.
At the workshop we invite you to reflect upon the things we take with us in life (both metaphorically and physically) and those which we leave behind, and to think about our connection to objects and all the feelings we associate with them. What meaning do these precious objects hold in your life that amounts to so much more than the object itself? Why do we instill such meaning in inanimate objects? Which stories do they conjure up and what are the journeys they take us on?
Join us as we explore these aspects of memory together and take away your own unique prints.
