An experimental digital print workshop

Discover how code can become a creative tool in this hands-on workshop with artist Oswin Tickler.

Hosted by Fermynwoods Contemporary Art at East Carlton Country Park, this experimental workshop introduces the fundamentals of creative coding using the free, open-source software Processing. You'll explore how simple code can generate unexpected visual outcomes, creating unique digital images for print.

During the session you will:
