We will be taking inspiration from women and non binary artists in major collections all over the world and looking at current exhibitions - with prompts to be used as part of optional site visits. These friendly classes are particularly inspiring for artists of all disciplines interested in working with text in their work as well as writers. No experience is required - just curiosity. Explore works at The Women’s Art Library, Goldsmiths University and Whitechapel Gallery, London, or The Women’s Art Collection, Murray Edwards, Cambridge - and many more, including the National Museum for Women in the Arts, New York. Previous participants have gone on to exhibit work created on the course across the UK and taken their work in inspiring new directions including higher education. |
