Join artist Emma Saffy Wilson for a relaxed and creative evening of collage-making, inspired by the Making Her Mark exhibition.

Take a closer look at the paintings in the exhibition and discover the textures, details, objects and fragments that catch your eye. Using these as inspiration, you’ll select, cut, rework and rearrange imagery to create your own contemporary collage.

No previous art experience is needed — bring your curiosity and creativity. You’ll leave with your own small, framed artwork to take home.

The Making Her Mark exhibition will be open throughout the evening, giving you the chance to explore the works and gather inspiration before creating your own piece.

Your £30 ticket includes:

  • A creative collage workshop led by Emma Saffy Wilson
  • All art materials
  • A glass of wine or soft drink
  • Nibbles
  • Your own framed collage to take home
  • Access to the Making Her Mark exhibition
