Cultivating spaces for extraordinary artists

World Three: Online Course

“Kommemoration”

Course Dates: 29 June - 22 July 2021

What might a modern shrine look like? During this course, Jon guides artists through a highly personal process, where they might choose to work with clay figures, explore mould-making, make impressions of natural and found objects, write letters and poems, draw or fold paper.

The individual ‘shrine’ that the artists create will become a small installation and perhaps even a performance. Their world will evolve into part of their wider world - created and inspired by theirr own experiences and creative processes - a collective memento.

This is an online arts course delivered over Zoom.

Art Forms: Mixed-media, illustration, installation, clay, written and spoken word, collage and assemblage, digital and analogue image making.
