Join artist Kaitlin Ferguson in the Clore Learning Studio for a free, interactive workshop about the relationship between art, technology, and waste.
Kaitlin will introduce you to her 3D printer and the waste materials she uses to print with, including tea leaves and coffee beans. These activities will contribute to informal discussion about how we can care for the planet and each other.
You will learn new art techniques and skills and explore new ways of creative thinking in a safe and supported space.
In her 1925 review of Lady Mursaki’s 11th Century novel Tale of Genji, Virginia Woolf admires the technique adopted to draw a clear vision of the male hero: he is conveyed through a method that decenters him and celebrates female intersubjectivity, ‘through the medium of other women’s minds’. Her encounter with the book clearly struck a chord, as a few years later, in an essay about women and fiction, Woolf returns to the Tale of Genji as a vital moment in the history of women’s creativity.
