About this event

Welcome to the New Narratives workshop with professional (and seasoned) artist Anne Riggs. Anne will introduce you to the art of making a visual story using text and images.


You will delve into to our secret stash of vintage books, beautiful papers, and well travelled maps. Bring your own box of keepsakes, such as letters, a piece of family history, travel ephemera - those precious bits and pieces that you keep but don’t know what to do with, to include in your unique artwork.


In this bespoke and intimate workshop Anne will guide you into how an artist thinks to reframe old and everyday materials into a personal story.
