October Sunroom | It’s All a Load of Crockery
Sunroom is about providing a safe creative space for art making, creative play and exploration for adults who identify with disability.
We believe in the social model of disability - that is, disability is the result of the interaction between people living with impairments and an environment filled with physical, attitudinal, communication and social barriers. (Sourced from PWD)
No prior art making experience is necessary, only a willingness to engage your imagination, curiosity and sense of play.
October
This workshop is a very tactile and hands-on making session inspired by ceramic artist Larissa Warren, one of the featured artists in Here and Now: Gold Coast Triennial.
Larissa personally sources clays with naturally occurring pigments from the environment around her to create her ceramics. This means that each colour is linked to a specific place. We will firstly create our own vessels using plaster and then add colours to remind us of our special places.
This event is recommended for persons aged 18+.
