Free creative workshop led by illustrator Devon Tipping where adults and over-16s make a 'creature for change' from Dartmoor folktales.
Creatures for Change is an artist-led workshop at The Box on Saturday 24 October, running from 2pm to 4pm. It's led by illustrator Devon Tipping, and the session is a creative response to the gallery's The Way We Live exhibition and Jill Craigie's 1946 film of the same name, which showed how Plymouth's city centre was rebuilt with people in mind after the Blitz.
The starting point is Dartmoor folktales, like the Old Crockern, and from there you'll make your own 'creature for change'—a guardian spirit that speaks to your relationship with home, the way you're living now, and the life you'd actually like to live. It's set against the Plymouth City Living Project, which is to transform the city centre once again, so the workshop invites you to voice what you'd like to see change while exploring Dartmoor mythology through collage and drawing. You'll work with those two things—collage and drawing—to bring your creature to life, and all the materials are provided, so you don't need to bring a thing.
