Join artist Freddie Yauner for a unique hands-on workshop exploring new ways of seeing the natural world through his extraordinary mirrored masks.
Freddie's work is currently featured in The Art of Wallpaper: Morris & Co. exhibition at Watts Gallery. His two-screen film, How Much is Enough?, imagines a speculative encounter between William Morris and George Frederic Watts, exploring ideas around creativity, value and our relationship with the world.
During this creative workshop, Freddie will introduce participants to his acclaimed What I'm Looking At mirrored masks before leading a guided walk through the beautiful woodland and grounds surrounding Watts Gallery. Using the masks, you'll capture striking video footage that transforms familiar landscapes into surprising and immersive moving images.
Back in the studio, Freddie will demonstrate how to edit your footage using a simple mobile app, creating a short film that you can share on social media or keep as a unique record of your experience.
Part artwork, part experiment and part nature walk, this workshop offers a fresh perspective on landscape, creativity and observation. No previous filmmaking experience is needed-just curiosity and a smartphone.
Please bring: A smartphone with sufficient battery life and storage space, and dress appropriately for walking outdoors.
