This workshop will take influence from the William Gillies: Modernism and Nation exhibition. Gillies has been a huge influence on Pattis art, via her own tutor the late Archie Sutter Watt. Well put into practice ways in which Gillies's insights and his artistic lineage might affect our own work and thinking - or, as Archie used to say, Och, just bash it about a bit!.
All materials will be provided. Booking essential.
You are also welcome to bring your own materials, and any objects or images that are significant and/or inspiring to you.
