The Maker Takeover
Pack your favourite type of pencil and a sketchbook (or 10).
Or a medium-format/polaroid/digital camera.
Whatever you explore with, and can use to make quick notes/impressions, bring it, because week 1 is all about collecting information…
And bring an open mind.
This is a CREATIVE residency.
Explore, probe, test and play in the ways right for you, and you’ll return with your art practice inspired in new directions through the places, experiences and conversations.
(ESPECIALLY the conversations).
You’ll also return home with the English you need to collaborate, chat and present.
Making art will be your priority.
Great English will follow.
Book your place on the Maker Takeover today.
There’s a unique art-making experience lined up – and only 3 places.
