Storytelling with Usifu Jalloh

His roots in multicultural Sierra Leone, and his long-standing and close association with artists and audiences from a wide range of cultures, has led him to develop a storytelling style which encompasses international languages, music, dance and story themes.

Architectural Forms: Found Sculptures

Anthony Caro spent a lot of time searching for sculptural materials in places you might not expect, like scrap yards or industrial sites, which means that sometimes you might recognise some objects in his sculptures; tubes, girders or mesh. In some of his sculptures he ended up incorporating items from his studio such as tools. In this workshop we’ll explore how we can create sculptures from familiar, recycled and found materials with artist educator Emily Hopkins.
