Sessions:
Thursday 29 October | 4pm-5pm | Relief Collage
This week we’ll look at how to bring depth to pictures with relief collage. We’ll find inspiration from animals in the collection and make a relief image that pops out of the page!
Thursday 12 November | 4pm-5pm | Sculpture
Time to rifle through the recycling! Grab some materials that you can turn into an animal sculpture. We’ll even have a go at making some shaggy animal hair!
Thursday 26 November | 4pm-5pm | Assemblage
Birds in bottles and lizards in lids! This week we’ll look at animals in everyday objects. We’ll grab some objects from around the house and put them together to see what animals we can create.
