About Lesley Barnes and Ross McAuley: Mobile Assemblage Workshop

To coincide with the exhibition, Fashion Play, join artists Lesley Barnes and Ross McAuley for this 1 ½ hour session of mobile assemblage inspired by their playful characters.

During the workshop you will experiment with shape, balance, form and colour to assemble your own mobile creation, using pre-cut wooden shapes, and decorate with Sharpie pens to achieve your own mobile assemblage, inspired by the Fashion Playexhibition and Lesley's book of the same name. The couple have created an interactive world of fashion, creating handmade wooden figures and large scale figurative wooden mobiles with their signature spots and stripes.

All materials will be provided plus refreshments upon arrival. This workshop is suitable for beginners, and anyone wishing to explore their own creativity and have some fun.
