Create your own artworks combining different textures, shapes, and colours in this free workshop, suitable for all ages and skill levels.

This drop-in workshop engages with the themes and artistic ideas expressed in the exhibition Hany Armanious: Stone Soup.

Highlighting the artist’s practice of noticing, we’ll explore the composition of forms, materials, and conceptual dialogues.

A school group sat around four tables, working on a creative project involving photos of sculpture, transparent sheeting and brightly coloured string.
