#JMKSpace: Exploring Form

with

Kirsty Housley

In this zoom workshop Kirsty will explore the techniques she uses to find the right form for each different piece of work and story. Covering aesthetic, structure and technology, we’ll be looking at how you can really push each piece you make to be fully, uniquely itself.
