Adult art workshop in which participants make a personal memory book using traditional book-making techniques, with all materials provided.
Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is hosting a book-making workshop for adults on Saturday 31 October, from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. It's part of their regular adult programme, which runs on the last Saturday of each month and brings in new techniques, ideas and materials every time, with each session drawing inspiration from the gallery's exhibitions and collections.
This one takes its lead from Slivers of Space, Peter Finnemore's exhibition. Over the course of the morning, you'll make your own personal memory book using traditional book-making techniques. It's open to everyone aged 16 and over, and it's for all levels of ability, so you don't need any prior experience to get involved. All the materials are provided, though you're encouraged to bring along your own ephemera for the cover — things like wallpaper scraps, drawings, maps, old photographs or postcards that mean something to you.
The gallery itself is right in the heart of Swansea and has been there since 1911. It's a centre of excellence for the visual arts and a world-class gallery for Wales, with a collection that stretches from old masters to contemporary artists, and an international holding of porcelain and Swansea china. If you've never spent much time inside, it's a good excuse to see what they've got on the walls.
