Please note numbers in the workshop will be monitored there may be a short wait to join during busier times.
Who is this workshop suitable for?
Everyone, all ages and abilities welcome*
What will we create in this workshop?
Join artist Alondene Philips as we create a Great Linford inspired tablecloth to feature in Harold Offeh’s EAT THE FEAST at Milton Keynes Gallery in July.
We will use a range of stencilling, fabric painting and printmaking techniques, to tell the stories of our local area. The resulting collaborative artwork will later be combined with others made across the city to make a collective map of Milton Keynes.
This unconventional map celebrates the fact that a place is not navigated by roads and paths alone, but also by the individual and collective memories and experiences of those who live there, as well as its curious visitors.
About the Project
Milton Keynes Arts Centre have been working with artist Harold Offeh since February 2022 – learn more about the project, how we Walked the Talk and how you can join us to EAT THE FEAST here.
