National Saturday Club Taster Workshop - Photography
Workshop with Carol Ballenger
Saturday 26 August 2023, 10am - 1pm
FREE
Venue: MAKE Southwest
Suitable for: Teenagers
Level: Beginner
Are you aged between 13 - 16 years old? Come along to a free photography workshop as a 'taster' for our next National Saturday Club due to commence in September 2023.
Carol Ballenger FRPS, landscape photographer and founder of Arts Live, will lead a workshop exploring various types of photomontage from its early history to new digital techniques.
Participants will come together using photographs to make a large collaborative montage in the traditional way, pasting prints onto a board. This work will celebrate and encourage the appreciation of trees from their twisted roots, associated fungi forming the wood wide web, lichen, textured bark and leaf-shapes to overhead canopies.
The photomontage will be exhibited at MAKE Southwest. There will also be an opportunity for students to make their own individual works. All materials will be provided. An information pack will be sent on registering and participants will be able, if they so wish, to email some of their own tree images to be printed by us and used in the workshop and exhibition.
You will also have a short introduction to the National Saturday Club programme from our learning officer Ian Wilkins.
The MAKE Southwest Craft & Making Saturday Club is a free programme of workshops for young people aged 13 - 16 years old.
We are looking to support the next generation of crafts people and our Club provides a small and friendly environment for young makers to explore their creativity through a range of craft disciplines.
All participants are encouraged to take part in the bronze Arts Award and support is given throughout the Club programme to complete this qualification.
Due to the limited number of participants, we are only allowing two tickets per household for our taster morning.
This taster workshop and our next Saturday Club programme has been generously funded and supported by the Ashley Foundation.
