Join Ones to Watch artist Charlotte Miles and explore character concept and storytelling using collage.

We're staying late at the Mills this Spring to bring you the Overtime Art Club sessions! Come along for relaxed evenings of drawing, collage, stitching and more - all facilitated by local emerging artists.

This season's sessions are a series of Ones to Watch specials, getting to know some of our exhibiting emerging artists and learning new skills in a relaxed setting! We are keen to help our Ones to Watch artists develop other areas of their careers outside of Gallery walls, and find many artists and makers diversify their practice through teaching workshops.

With the help of artist Charlotte Miles, this workshop will focus on Absurdist narratives, which are stories containing illogical events, characters and sometimes even lack an ending. These narratives can be translated into three-dimensional sculptures in the form of vignettes (snap shots) of the story’s climax.

By using imagery from magazines and newspapers as a foundation for our stories, we will embellish and attach them together to form illogical and surreal scenes from an Absurd narrative of your creation.

This workshop will utilise and develop skills in storytelling, imagination and enchantment, and three-dimensional thinking.
