Are you a self-employed creative living or working in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Join local artist Sean Alec Auld in a 3-hour workshop where he will share with you the foundations of his artistic practice, reimagining our connection with both nature and narrative.

Dip your toes into the art of storytelling as Auld shares his insights into the way he approaches working with stories. Exploring the profound connection between myth and story, you will delve into the intricate ways of weaving these elements into your own personal practice in an embodied way.

You will also explore the beauty of working with natural materials, through immersing ourselves in the hands-on experience of crafting a dorodango, a meditative and beautiful art form with its origins in Japan.

Please contact us if you have accessibility requirements. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

'Back to the Mud' is a free workshop led by Sean Alec Auld, local sculptor and exhibited artist.

You can see Auld's artworks on display now at the Newcastle Arts Centre Gallery.
