Events Programme
More information about all of the events below and links to reserve your free places on the workshops can be found on Camilla’s website.
Living Canal Mobiles
Sunday 14 July, 1-4pm
This workshop will explore the local environment around Chisenhale Studios and help to maintain the Hertford Union Canal and Regents Canal, by doing a litter pick along the canal-towpath. As we litter pick, we will become familiar with the diverse urban environment where nature and man made meet around the water. After spending about an hour litter picking we will move into the education space at Chisenhale Studios where, with guidance from Camilla we make canal mobile art that reflects the unique local area, with the option to include living plants. This workshop is suitable for all ages, although under 18s must be accompanied by a guardian.
Artist Talk
Thursday 18 July, 6.30-8pm
Camilla will open Studio 4 for a talk and showing of her work in progress, followed by a Q&A. Visitors will be invited to relax in the natural and manmade environment that she is creating as part of her work Coast – Hertford Union Canal.
