Low-tech / No-tech: Unplug your creativity, no batteries, no hardware, no software. Just a burnt stick and an open mind.In a 21st Century context, our growing desire and dependency on screen imagery serves as a direct challenge to the relevance of mark-making using basic tools and found objects. This back-to-basics workshop offers an opportunity to experience the delights and endless possibilities in creating with a humble burnt stick; charcoal.
The introduction will demonstrate the merits of charcoal. Subsequent exercises will give participants an opportunity to journey into the use of this medium and techniques to express tone, line, shape, texture, pattern, volume, composition and narrative. Drawing exercises will direct participants to look and perceive through observation and imagination.
Tickets are $10 and cover all materials and refreshments courtesy of our hospitality partner Toi Toi Wines. Koha for the artist will be accepted upon entry.
