Join us for a virtual workshop with Sophie Fletcher of Zosia Ceramics.
Sophie will guide you through the art of abstract expression using illustration, collage and cut-outs. Taking inspiration from a meaningful object, you will be encouraged to get curious and experimental, working onto old music sheets with inks and cut-out shapes to create a layered abstract piece of art.
Sophie is a Cambridgeshire potter, musician and writer whose pottery often reinterprets traditional shapes and patterns. She draws inspiration from the handmade forms of medieval pottery and Polish Cepelia (folk) objects.
Materials required:
Old music sheets or other paper
Inks or paints
Brushes
Scissors
Glue or adhesive
A meaningful object for inspiration
Thu 30 October, 6pm–7:30pm BST (2pm–3:30pm EST)
