A event on Sunday 10th August. The event starts at 14:00.
Join Fra Beecher for an afternoon of collaging using words and imagery inspired by bodies of water.
Please arrive from 1.45pm to get settled, so that we can start at 2pm. There will be a break at around 3pm. There is an invitation to display what you have created during the workshop, and as part of the exhibition at The Launderette.
Collage materials will be available, including photographs, magazines and books. You are also welcome to bring your own materials.
Tickets are available on a pay what you can afford basis, with a £5 minimum.
Fra Beecher is an artist and life model, and co-founder of United Models Life Drawing CIC. Her creative practice is informed by her modelling work and the weekly life drawing sessions she facilitates in Bristol. Through her projects, including Body of Work (2018-2020), Fra challenges the misconception that female life models are passive objects.
As a longstanding wild swimmer, Fra has begun to explore the physical, emotional and psychological experience of swimming in the River Avon through photography, writing, drawing and sculpture.
This residency and exhibition is an opportunity to experiment, and reflect, making new work and collaborating with artists, writers and fellow swimmers. Through a series of creative workshops, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own personal connections to bodies of water, which will become part of the works on display.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
