About this Event
GLISTEN provides a fabulous opportunity to join acclaimed Black Country artist Tom Hicks, the award-winning poet Liz Berry, and sensory artist Kaye Winwood for a unique, creative workshop fusing together photography, food and poetry.
This three part event will focus on the overlooked objects and architecture that we walk past every day; tuning our senses to the neglected beauty that can often be found in abandoned things if only we hold our nerve and gaze.
Starting in a secret location, guests will take a photo-walk around the historic Jewellery Quarter led by artist Tom Hicks. Attendees should bring a camera or smartphone to document their finds.
The participants will then head to Gulp - a private dining room founded by artist Kaye Winwood - where Tom Hicks will talk about his practice and invite the participants to share the images they’ve taken..
Kaye Winwood will present a sensory response to the Jewellery Quarter and talk through these interpretations, inviting participants to taste and smell together.
Finally, Liz Berry will lead a poetry workshop, using maps, words and image to create new meanings.
GLISTEN will be a feast for the eyes, minds and senses. No previous experience of photography or creative writing is needed for this event, just a curious appetite.
£35 - includes guided walk, tasting/refreshments, poetry workshop
