Marine Art Evening Workshop Worthing (12/04/2023)

Wild Coast Sussex is hosting a creative evening art workshop inspired by our local marine life. Using washed up kelp and ghost gear we'll be experimenting with different printmaking techniques such as lino, collagraph and found object printing. In the second half of the workshop we'll be experimenting with different textile techniques to create a collaborative hanging piece. These textile techniques will include weaving and embroidery.

Some of the artwork created will be shown at our upcoming exhibition! You will also have the chance to keep a few of the prints and drawings created.

Information on accessibility can be seen below.
