Artist Workshop with Patrick Fernandez
Participants will explore the history and cultural significance of festival banners as highlighted in Patrick Fernandez’s Learning Centre Residency. This workshop asks participants to express personal stories, treasured memories, aspirations, and reflections on gratitude through the creation of banderitas. A banderita is a small colourful flag. When strung together they create a banner and are part of many festivals in the Philippines. Each individual banderita will serve as its own art object and will also be strung together to create a collaborative community banner to be displayed in the Learning Centre with the artist’s work.
During the workshop, participants will learn a range of exciting, practical techniques, such as painting and printmaking, suitable for all skill levels.
Age range: All are welcome. Children 12 and under need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians are exempt from the registration fee.
