Join Artist, Plumber and Retrofit Consultant Sovay Berriman for a unique and insightful art workshop
A creative and conversational workshop with artist Sovay Berriman, exploring the topic - 'damp'.
These art workshops are designed to allow a gentle and creative opportunity to explore the theme of living with damp. We will make artworks using collage, paint, and drawing materials, and share conversation around our experiences.
Touching upon themes such as precarious housing, environmental impacts upon housing stock, and financial and climate-crisis factors, this event is primarily aimed at adults, but open to everyone.
This is the first in a series of workshops that are part of Sovay Berriman's research into living with damp. It is vital that we all are able to contribute to the often confusing conversations about how we heat our homes, how we maintain good indoor air quality, and how we increase our energy efficiency.
This research is ongoing and informs Sovay's current studio practice, as well as their research around the national transition to energy efficiency and low-carbon heating.
There will be no audio recording, photographs will be taken however faces will be avoided.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
