Course Synopsis

The aim of this workshop is to teach participants the use of Perspex either as an art form on its own or incorporated with other art works. These may be 2 or 3 dimensional objects such as prints, drawings, textiles, found objections, collected objects or small antiques. There will be an emphasis on design and students will be required to bring along their own inspirational objects for use in their work. Participants will be taught the use of tools and manipulation of plastics including cutting, drilling, construction and finishing of surfaces. There is no prerequisite for this workshop.
