SUMMARY:Felting Workshop at The Cluster
DESCRIPTION:This April\, slow the world down for a couple of hours and join us at The Cluster for a relaxed\, hands-on morning of felting\, in collaboration with brilliant local artist Elizabeth Knowles. \nIn this two-hour masterclass\, Elizabeth will gently guide you through the magic of needle-felting\, from building up rich base colours to adding delicate embroidered details that bring your piece to life. By the end\, you’ll have created your own unique\, framed artwork to take home and quietly feel proud of every time you walk past it. \nNo experience? This session is designed for complete beginners as well as the creatively curious. All materials are provided\, there’s no dress code (other than “comfortable”)\, and the atmosphere is friendly\, unhurried\, and encouraging\, think creativity\, conversation\, and the satisfying joy of making something with your hands. \nWhether you’re looking for a thoughtful gift\, a mindful morning\, or just an excuse to try something new in good company\, this is a lovely way to spend a Spring morning. \nSpaces are limited\, so booking ahead is very much advised.

SUMMARY:Mapping Monuments: Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Explore the future of Oxford through writing and imagination.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this one-of-a-kind After Hours Studio Session\, you’ll explore the speculative storytelling methods behind Suzanne Treister: Prophetic Dreaming and apply them to Oxford itself. \nYour evening will begin with a free guided tour of the exhibition\, followed by the writing workshop; all necessary materials and a complimentary drink are included in the ticket price too! \nYou’ll explore:\n• Creative writing and speculative storytelling\n• Visual mapping and conceptual development\n• Translating future-focused ideas into public proposals \nWhat to expect: \nThe workshop is inspired by Suzanne Teister’s residency at CERN\, one of the world’s leading centres for particle physics research. During this project\, Treister worked alongside scientists to consider how emerging technologies might shape our collective future. In Scientific Dreaming and AI Quantum Dreaming\, she developed systems of writing\, mapping and speculative thinking to visualise possible worlds. \nIn this session\, you’ll use similar creative techniques to imagine Oxford’s future. Through guided prompts and collaborative exercises\, you’ll develop a concept for a new monument or public marker in the city\, considering what should be anticipated\, protected or challenged in the years ahead. \nNo prior experience is needed. We look forward to seeing you there! \n\nWe offer a range of facilities to ensure we are accessible to visitors. Please click here to find out more about visiting Modern Art Oxford. If you have any questions about your visit\, please get in touch at info@modernartoxforg.org.uk. \nActivities can be adapted to be seated or standing\, and all activities are suitable for wheelchair users or those using mobility aids.
