Come along on a walk inspired by the work of our currently exhibiting artist Julia Isídrez, led by one of our Associate Artists Amelia Daiz. This walk will guide you through different environments, noticing the shapes, forms and textures of your surroundings. You will be led through a series of exercises and material explorations that will help develop your sculpting skills. We will experiment with how the urban and natural environments can imprint itself into your sculptures, both conceptually and literally. This will be a relaxed and social walkshop, with no previous artistic experience necessary. The aim is that you will come away from the session having a new perspective and appreciation for your surroundings, having tried some techniques that can inspire future creativity and having created your own mini clay sculpture. All materials will be provided.
After the walk you are welcome to stay and join us at Blend at Contemporary for a complimentary cake and hot drink.
Amelia Daiz is an Associate Artist at Nottingham Contemporary and works as a freelance socially engaged artist and facilitator for many organisations across the East Midlands. She is particularly interested in walking and using a combination of walking and creativity to improve wellbeing. She runs Meanderers which is a small creative walking organisation in Nottingham.
