A Creative Adult Workshop with Jo Kori. Harvey's most recent work forges motifs and emblems of Britishness, such as military memorabilia and joke shop knick-knacks into collaged portraits of historical figures.
About
The title for his exhibition at Jerwood Gallery, ‘Inselaffe’, is derived from a tongue in cheek theory that evolution must have stalled in the UK, as British people behave in such a yobbish manner.
You can create a collage portrait in either 2D or 3D in this workshop. The materials used will reflect what you know about the sitter. Your selected muse can be a yob or a well-known person (or both) and they can be alive or deceased - but they must be from Hastings!
This workshop is suitable for over 16’s.
Booking is essential as places are limited. To book, please call 01424 728377 during gallery opening hours.
As part of the Root 1066 Festival, Jerwood Gallery is hosting a series of subsidised creative events to compliment Marcus Harvey: Inselaffe, including children’s £1.50 workshops.
