This workshop led by artist Dominique Crowley will focus on certain historic meanings attached to the term monster and how they might be relevant today. Specifically responding to the exhibition, MONSTRORUM, currently on display in the Ashford Gallery, Crowley will explore ideas around scientific discovery and the part played by scientific illustrations in disseminating knowledge.
Using existing real and fictional illustrations as inspiration, participants will be using collage to create hybrid creatures/objects, which they will then use to make a scientistic illustration.
All materials provided by the RHA.
This workshop is for adults.
€30 person. Booking essential.
