A workshop encouraging sustainable art practices
Facilitated by Niroj Satpathy
Methods Workshop
Date – 3 & 4 Oct 2024
Time - 3.00pm – 6.00pm
Location - KNMA Saket
Join us for a two-day immersive art workshop that invites participants to unleash their creative potential using discarded objects. Through hands-on activities and collaborative projects, you’ll transform trash into art while gaining insights into ecological practices and the importance of reusing materials. The workshop will begin with a short presentation by the artist on his practice and a discussion on Eco-Art. It aims to encourage critical thinking on waste management and sustainability and promotes collaboration and community engagement. By the end of the workshop participants will have created sculptures together, gained foundational skills in sculpture-making and collage, and will discuss their experiences and challenges while experimenting with textures, shapes, and colours.
Please note:
Participants are encouraged to bring discarded objects from their homes or local surroundings. Suggested items include paper, plastic bottles, bottle caps, old clothes, metal scraps, cardboard, old dolls, or any other unwanted objects, with no quantity limit.
The first 15 minutes of the workshop are dedicated to important instructions, after which the session will promptly begin. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, we kindly ask that you arrive on time. As the workshop is designed to be completed within the scheduled time, we regret that late arrivals beyond 30 minutes will not be accommodated. Thank you for your cooperation!
