In this 4 days online intensive workshop participants will learn how to use a range of hands-on /analogue artistic modalities as raw materials for digital art making.
The workshop bridges and weaves painting, collage, creative writing, sound/voice and performance together with photography, video and a range of digital tools to create multi media artworks. Learning a choice of apps participants will experience the use of digital tools to witness, observe and expand their creative process, as well as creating original digital artworks.

This year the Analogue Digital workshop will take place online and as usual for this workshop, I will co-facilitate with digital artist Mischa Fulljames. The program is aimed for adults interested in expressive contemporary art making and is designed to be inspiring for skilled and aspiring artists. Participants must be ready to engage in a creative process that will weave both hands-on analogue art practices with digital creation.
