A series of on-going creative education workshops designed and delivered by Dagmara at Hastings Contemporary to a range of participants, from primary school workshops to adult classes.
Workshops complement current exhibitions, celebrate the local and seasonal calendar and link to key stage 3-4 school curriculum. They have included:
Monoprinting and Greek Mythology – year 5, Churchwood School, Hastings
Inspired by the 18th and 19th C etchings of animals and beasts, pupils designed mythical beings which they later interpreted into mono prints and collaged with mono printed textures to decorate paper cut outs of Greek vases.
