Artist Workshop Series: Cookie Cutter Clay with Michael Prosée
Sunday 9 February 1:30 - 3:30pm
FREE Event
Suitable for Ages 6-12
Spaces will be limited
In this workshop, Michael will guide children through a tour of the gallery space, where they’ll create drawings inspired by various shapes they see in the artworks. Afterward, they’ll move to the boardroom to transform their drawings into clay sculptures. Michael will teach them how to turn their flat artwork into three-dimensional creations that can be displayed on the wall.
This workshop is part of Pushing Parallels as a public programme
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Michael Prosée works across ceramics, painting and mixed media. His practice is led by process, with no distinct boundaries or constraints between materials. Working intuitively, Michael creates paintings and ceramics in tandem, responding to material behaviours by acting and reacting. He is led by curiosity where each decision is informed by the previous outcome, resulting in “each layer becoming a record of time, experience, thought, emotion incurred during the act of making” (Aleksandra Petrovic, 2018).
