Come along and enjoy this experimental course where you will learn the various steps to making your own bas relief plaster cast plaques. The course will cover rolling out the clay, designing and arranging the flowers creating your own layout for the casting process. The fresh flowers and foliage are pressed into wet clay, before plaster is poured in and given time to set. When the mould is removed, every detail is captured. After carefully hand finishing, they can be painted or left natural. (you will leave them in a natural state due to them needing to dry) We create 2 plaques one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Plaques are approx. 7.5x5.5inches. Option to add hanging hooks or leave blank creating beautiful botanical pieces of art for your home. There will be flowers and foliage for you to choose from however I do ask you bring a very small bunch of fresh flowers/herbs/leaves/wildflowers/grasses from your garden as it is always lovely to make a cast specific to your garden. Please bring an apron and wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy. If you wear glasses please remember these. The workshop will run from 10.30 to approx. 3.30pm. There will be a 45 min lunch break and morning and afternoon breaks. The price of the workshop includes all materials apart from the small bunch of fresh seasonal flowers foliage I ask you to bring with you. Please see photos for foliage flower inspiration. Experiance level : Beginner Artist bio: Tara is an artist who lives and works in Ilkley casting flowers and foliage from the countryside.

An afternoon event exploring Most Dismal Swamp and the world of digital sculpture with artist Dane Sutherland and writer Jamie Sutcliffe. Most Dismal Swamp is a project emerging from the curatorial, artistic, and research practice of Dane Sutherland (b. 1985, UK). The project’s multimedia work involves collaboration with a wide network of artists and combines performance, sculpture, computer generated imaging, AI processes and writing. These projects are conceived as multi-user shared hallucinations – a term borrowed from online roleplaying games in which a shared set of highly specific rules help construct an immersive fictional world. A rigorous ‘acid pessimism’ animates the work of Most Dismal Swamp: an acerbic yet playful immersion into composite hallucinatory lifeworlds, gamespaces, and protocols – what Sutherland calls the ‘folkless lore’ of modern life – that constitute the hostile architectures of our shared platform-mediated crises. Dane Sutherland completed his PhD at Edinburgh School of Art. Projects by Most Dismal Swamp have appeared at Autotelic Foundation, London (2025); KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2023, online); and Mira Digital Arts Festival, Barcelona (2021). Jamie Sutcliffe is a writer, curator, and co-director of Strange Attractor Press. He is the editor of the books Documents of Contemporary Art: Magic , published by The Whitechapel Gallery and The MIT Press (2021), Weeb Theory (2023) published by Banner Repeater, and the author of Let Me Work! an experiment in comics and animation writing forthcoming from Breakdown Press. His essays, reviews, and interviews have been published internationally by Art Monthly, Art Review, e-flux, Frieze, The White Review, Rhizome, The Quietus, and Bricks From The Kiln amongst others. He is Associate Lecturer at Chelsea College of Art, University of the Arts, London. Information Source: Henry Moore Institute | eventbrite
