Take part in Guerilla Art with Josie Beszant, the art of interruption - a space, someone's thoughts, a viewpoint. Would you like to spend some time thinking about what positive change you would like to be in the world and acting on that through art? Guerilla Art is open to anyone with artistic ability or not. Josie will guide you through a unique experience and give you the tools to be a positive change in your chosen location.

In addition to this, Josie Beszant offers an Adventures in Collage experience which allows visitors to experiment with different materials and techniques and go away with a good understanding of the medium and plenty of resources to draw on. Collage has existed for as long as there has been paper. It became popular in the 1950's when it was accepted into mainstream modern art with artists such as Picasso and Braque. Today, collage is still used as an outsider/rebel art form as you can destroy old material to make new, play with scale and size and change meaning.

Suggested duration: 2 hours

Price guideline per person: Up to 4 people from £15 -£60 per person
