Student Workshop
Wednesday 19 January 2022, 2 – 4pm
£3, on-site at the Barber; booking essential
Take some time out during this exam season and join Student Engagement Coordinator Kirsty Clarke for a relaxing clay workshop inspired by the Barber’s sculpture Man Seen by a Flower, 1958, by Dada and Surrealist artist Jean Hans Arp.
Arp celebrated chance as a fundamental rule of the natural world, playing with randomly formed compositions in his drawings, paintings, and sculptures. He said the forms he created did not refer to existing shapes but were new: born from him in the same way a tree bears fruit.
In this relaxed and reflective workshop, you will create your own small abstract air-dry clay sculptures by using Arp’s working processes, embracing the surreal and celebrating chance as a tool for sculpting, letting your subconscious guide your work.
No experience necessary, and all materials will be provided.
This workshop is for university students and will be held on-site at the Barber. Limited spaces; booking is essential.
