Drawing In Workshop : Admitting the Possibilities
Of Error

Kirsten Lavers: drawn meditations on error

Saturday 25 March

10am - midday

An Tobar Art Room

 

This workshop will be based around Kirsten’s series of drawings entitled Admitting the Possibilities of Error, work from this series is currently exhibited at An Tobar as part of Drawing In.  Errors or mistakes are often seen as negative or shameful, however, if we take time to consider the possibilities they offer, they can also be sources of learning, inspiration, discovery and reconciliation. In this workshop Kirsten will share her drawing process and show other drawings from this ongoing series which include drawings arising from grief and in response to climate change and war. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own drawing using Kirsten’s process and to share with each other their thoughts on errors or mistakes.

Participants will each be given paper and a selection of pens and pencils to work with. Participants may have pens/pencils/drawing surfaces of special significance which they are welcome to bring to create their drawing. (Optional)

No prior drawing experience or skill required.

Drawing In is at An Tobar until 16th April 2023.

Booking necessary

Suitable for ages 16 +
