Using the way emblematic hero figures are portrayed in poetry and literature as our launch pad, we will discover the world of collage. Each month, participants will have the opportunity to explore the history and variations of the technique of collage, from China and the invention of paper 2,000 years ago, up until the present day. We will pay particular attention to the experimentations of Dada, Braque and Picasso, Pollock, and Wagenschi Mutu and Yinka Shonibare.
2021 is a landmark year for Greece. In recognition of its significance, the creative embroidery workshop honors people whose actions and work changed the course of history and left an indelible mark upon our society. We will embroider figures inspired by international personalities from the realms of politics, the arts, and science. Beginning from the materials and preparatory work required to get started with embroidery, we will move on to learning the basic techniques that we will use in order to complete our handiwork.
