Learn how to turn line drawings of landscapes into textile pieces in this mixed media workshop led by artist Laura Kent.

You will produce textile based landscapes using collage, fabrics, threads and wool and  learn how to attach them together in a variety of ways. Get creative playing with composition and embellishments such as seams, zips, sequins and buttons.

Laura is a local abstract  mixed media landscape painter living in St Agnes who is inspired by the vast, weather filled landscapes of Cornwall.

For young artists aged 11-16, this group helps young people connect with their creativity and get to know contemporary art practices.
