We will be looking at songs and poems, and text fragments and songs as storytelling and making these into new Broadside Ballads. You will be able to make your texts into prints through collage, drawing, experimenting and Riso print. So, bring along your ideas!

This workshop will be led by Anne Robinson, lead artist in ‘The Charmers’ contemporary art project.

This workshop is part of Coming Soon…The Charmers! an art project in diverse forms: films, drawings, sound, broadside ballads, workshops and conversations and The Charmers band formed by seven time-travelling players – fugitives from the 17th century Ayrshire ‘witch’ trials. The band on tour are: Debbie Armour, Tansy Spinks, Deb Smith, Lisa Lux and Anne Robinson. Find out more at: gracenotesproject.org and follow Anne @anrobs.
