Access

In this 2.5 hour workshop, attendants will be guided through making an original concertina book utilising their own artworks. Participants will first create the works they want to include (of any 2D medium) and then create a small concertina book by pleating the paper or stitching the pages together. The theme of the workshop is identity, and participants are encouraged to create works that speak to who they are and their experiences by drawing on memories and perhaps even tales of childhood. All materials are provided.

Presented by Christina Darras and George Paton Gallery Arts Lab.
This workshop is presented at the Arts Lab, an open-access art studio for creative activity coordinated by the University of Melbourne Student Union.
