When we breathe, what happens to the air we expel? Have you ever wondered what it looks like?
Visual artist Jayne Wilton comes to the Arts at the Old Fire Station, on Saturday 3 October to run a
visual art workshop exploring the act of breathing.
The event is part of Fun Palaces, a nationwide celebration which brings art and science together,
Participants can try some alternative drawing techniques that Jane uses to create her pieces, and
practice traditional still life techniques drawing a blown glass bubble. Jayne’s work explores the act of
breathing through the medium of installations, drawings, videos and sculptures.
Fun Palaces are about creating and making together: they are a space where arts and sciences, fun
and learning meet, working alongside and working together. The core principles are that each Fun
Palace is free, local, innovative, transformative and engaging.
The workshop is for anyone aged 10+.
