Workshops

This celebration of winter with textile artist Kath Price will explore and embrace the unexpected and you may use some recycled items from home. Secret pockets, starts, wands, owls and toadstools may feature and reflect your personal stories. There will be a range of textile techniques to try out and incorporate into the items that you create. No previous experience is required – just your enthusiasm and an apron if you have one. All equipment and materials will be provided.

£3 per session

‘Scan Paths’ is an exciting project which redefines the boundaries of photography by creating an instant camera capable of performing eye-tracking on the user. When ‘eye tracked’ what you look at reveals both what is important psychologically to you, and the science involved in seeing. It’s a ‘selfie-cam’ that takes a picture of you while simultaneously revealing something about yourself!

Join digital artist Ben Freeth for a workshop in which you will help to create a ‘Yarbus Cam’ and use it on Saturday 10 November from 2-5pm at Mackie’s Corner, High Street West, Sunderland.

Limited spaces, please email booking@theculturalspring.org.uk.

This workshop is offered as part of Wear Experimenting, a project commissioned by The Cultural Spring and NEPN.
