Artist Minna Gilligan will present a workshop based in drawing and collage mediums. Firstly, Gilligan will guide participants through abstract mark-making techniques with low-fi materials such as markers, coloured pencils and pens. This drawing will form the setting or ‘scene’ for collage elements to exist amongst. Using old books from the 1960s and 1970s, participants will then select collage imagery, considering their own personal narrative communication amongst what they select.
