Poem / Print creative workshop

This creative workshop accompanies our current exhibition in the Tower Foyer Gallery, Ian Hamilton Finlay: Works on Paper, celebrating the centenary of the extraordinary Scottish artist, poet and gardener.

In this workshop, inspired by Finlay's works on paper, participants will create their own pieces of visual poetry or typographical art, using a variety of materials including typeface printing blocks and collage. Using various pieces from our collections as inspiration, we will explore how word placement, visual form and the use of pattern can be used to enrich and alter the meaning of a piece.

All materials will be provided. Please meet in the foyer of the Tower Building, University of Dundee. The workshop will be limited to 12 participants and is recommended for ages 15 and above. Under-18s must be accompanied by an adult.
