Love Language. Craft Workshop.

This workshop sits alongside Bag Of Excuses, an installation by Gemma Mae Halligan and Sinéad O'Neill-Nicholl reflecting on the work of Prof. Jane Monckton Smith in relation to violence towards women & girls. Bag Of Excuses at its heart is trying to help our audience understand the 8 stages of behaviour found in intimate partner homicide and abusive relationships. When we found Prof Jane's work we kept asking ' how do we not know this?' The installation is our response to that question and we wanted to create some workshops to help our audience do the same. The workshops have been designed to explore the themes and issues raised in Bag Of Excuses through engaging in an art activity and are open to everyone over 18yrs. We want everyone to be as comfortable as possible, so we have provided a breakout space, refreshments and plenty of further information. Our trained staff will also be on hand to direct you to additional resources. The £10 deposit ticket price is fully refundable on attendance at the workshop.

Info: Laura Nelson has been working with words and painting signs for the last 5 years. In this 2 hour workshop participants will use the traditional signwriting techniques of pouncing using a pouncing wheel and chalk. We will employ materials such as gold and copper leaf, size and water based paints and play with burnishing the thin metals to create illuminated signs of words that empower. All materials will be provided and come from Laura's own stock. Wear clothes you dont mind getting painty.
