Printworks Free Art Workshops with Charlie Evasisto-Boyce

Join artist Charlie Evasisto-Boyce for a series of free art workshops at Printworks London this summer.

The project consists of three weeks of participatory opportunities  for members of the public to take part in these Free Art workshops to screen print, use street art styles and decorate on to cardboard boxes, which will then be stacked throughout the Vanway space, creating an immersive journey through the space.

Learn printmaking, street art, and sculptural techniques to help to create an expansive, collaborative and immersive pop art installation of cardboard box totems. Learn about themes of sustainability and about the local history of the site.

There are 30 places per session for each Free Art workshops and the sessions are suitable for adults and children of all ages.

The end of the project would be marked by an event bringing together the participants to view and explore the exhibition as an interactive installation, and walk through the history of the site, as told by the artworks on the boxes.

There are 30 places per session, and the sessions are suitable for adults and children of all ages.

Printworks London is the new experimental venue for events, culture and arts in Canada Water and for community events for  people of the local area.

Charlie Evaristo-Boyce

Charlie Evaristo-Boyce is a kind of 21st century pop artist who transforms the ordinary into the iconic. The subjects of his prints are unassuming images found within the agricultural industry, such as fruit and vegetable boxes, or other objects plucked from the urban detritus of everyday life. The images are cut up, manipulated and printed in large format to show in striking detail and colour what is already there, opening the viewer’s eyes to previously unseen details of everyday life. His works are hand printed through a process that ensures each print is unique. Charlie currently runs Margate’s Most Medium Sized Gallery. Charlie has worked widely in participatory projects with galleries such as Tate Modern, Turner Margate and Royal Academy of Arts.
