Public Play: Assunta and Lou Art Club + Ellie Barrett & Nora

Assunta and Lou have been collaborating for the past 6 years, layering drawing, painting and collage over digital prints. Two years ago they started sharing these methods with children and parents on their colourful blanket. Ellie and Nora's practice explores collecting, making and rearranging found natural objects and selected materials into new sculptural works. This way of working treats children not just as participants but as co-authors, raising real questions about what a child's perspective brings to the making process.

During their residency, Assunta, Lou, Ellie and Nora will collaboratively explore analogue and digital media alongside natural materials, found objects, and open-ended, everyday materials to develop new artworks.

The research and development will culminate in a hands-on family workshop on the 8th August to share what they made and discovered during the residency together at Primary.
