Join us for an evening of making, conversation and inspiration in this continuous professional development and learning (CPDL) workshop for teachers.
Focusing on Christina Kimeze’s exhibition at the SLG, this session will explore her radiant, textured paintings. Joshua Obichere (Skin Deep Education) will lead a hands-on workshop inspired by her latest works, offering techniques and ideas you can bring back to the classroom.
The evening includes an introduction to the exhibition by curator Lily Tonge, followed by practical activities in our Clore Studio.
