Workshop with Emily Roberts and Andrew Whittle. All materials supplied.
About this Event

Construct your own surrealist sculpture from beach waste. Taking wordplay, humour and the art of the found as a starting point, we will trawl for treasures among beach finds by Beach Guardian CIC and assemble them into sculptures before photographing each work. All materials supplied.

Emily Roberts is a contemporary figurative artist. Trained in traditional oil painting in Italy, where she also taught painting and drawing, she now works across painting and sculpture with drawing and materiality central to her practice.

Andrew Whittle is a Cornwall-based artist and community practitioner working across environmental art, ecology, mythology, and public engagement.
