Online Come Make with us #1

2 HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

This first session features artists Julia Robinson and Luke Thurgate. Both presenters will suggest ways of thinking through art making and the importance of practice and experimentation. A hands-on practical component is included during the session so make sure you have your materials ready.
