Maurizio Anzeri - Portrait Yellow

Embroidered Portraits Workshop

As a part of the forthcoming Diffusion Photography Festival I have been asked to lead an Embroidered Portraits workshop at Chapter Art Centre on Saturday 11 May 2013.

During this workshop you will have an opportunity to make your own combined media artwork, inspired by Maurizio Anzeri’s embroidered ‘photo sculptures’, which will be showing in Chapter’s Gallery. Learn how to sew directly onto vintage photographs to create colourful, shimmering three-dimensional objects to take home. A selection of photographs will be provided but please feel free to bring your own black and white photographs to embellish. Sewing materials will be provided.

These workshops are FREE and will last approximately two hours. Workshops will start at 11.00am and again at 2.00pm.

To book a place click here.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Project Cardiff Exhibition Details

Exhibition Dates: 2 – 24 February 2013
Private View: 2 February 2013 from 6.00pm

Opening Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 10.00am – 5.00pm

Venue: Milkwood Gallery, 41 Lochaber Street, Roath, Cardiff CF24 3RU

About Project Cardiff

The Project Cardiff exhibition consists of a portfolio of photographs of people who have been identified as making a positive contribution to the creative life and soul of the city.

The portfolio isn’t exhaustive, nor is it ‘Best Of‘ or ‘Top 50‘. The project seeks to capture a snapshot of the contemporary creative scene in Wales’s capital city at this time.

Whilst some of these people may have been nominated for Project Cardiff as a result of their involvement in one particular activity, many of them are engaged in numerous projects across the city. Project Cardiff represents the “do-ers” from the creative community whether these people are acting wholly under their own initiative or as a part of larger groups and organisations.

Participants, such as Marc Thomas, Editor of Plastik Magazine, pictured above, were photographed by Lann Niziblian.

A selection of images from the Project Cardiff portfolio were previously exhibited at The Senedd building in Cardiff bay. This coincided with Cardiff Design Festival and the Contemporary Cardiff initiative.
