This workshop is part of a Workshops Series focussing on female artists and their work entitled “HerArt”. The current workshop is dedicated to Remedios Varo, a Spanish-Mexican Surrealist painter. You will learn about her life, career and techniques. 

In the first part of the workshop we will together put what we heard into practice, and create an artwork based on those methods, such as Exquisite Corpse (words, images, and a collaboratively-made drawing). In the second part, you will create your own surrealistic art piece. 

Duration: 3 hrs.
