How do you creatively respond to an artwork in your own way? How can a work of art encourage you to make something new? These are the questions you'll be considering with RA Schools students Fungai Benhura and Suleman Aqeel, in this workshop inspired by artworks in the Summer Exhibition 2024. Using a variety of materials, you'll select your favourite pieces to reimagine in your own style.
The session will be led by artists Fungai and Suleman alongside a small team of experienced assistants. Family, friends and support staff are all welcome and recommended, particularly if one-to-one support is required.
There will be a breakout space available, with a selection of sensory aids.
