About

Join artist Emily Motto for an introductory creative workshop which brings together art, maths and geometry. Drawing on the work of Italian Renaissance painter, Piero della Francesca, whose paintings were characterised by their use of geometric forms and perspective, this workshop will give you the opportunity to make your own shape compositions and configurations.   

All experience levels welcome.   

Please meet in Gallery C at least 5 minutes before the session starts. Materials will be provided.
