Participants will use second hand material to create an artwork that represents something about their life where they live. For example, they may choose to represent visiting the beach or park. They could depict local wildlife or vegetation, or they could represent the built environment e.g., their local shops or restaurants.

For the competition, the artwork must be contained within a single picture frame (provided by The Bend). All other materials will be provided.

Local artist Annie Rawle of Osmosis Designs will lead the workshop and show you how to combine your own pictures or models with found objects and images. She will teach craft techniques focused on using recycled materials, for example, wire, wood, thread and paints etc.  You’ll get worksheets and ideas of what to paint or make to fit the theme. This workshop will be very hands-on and all participants will have an opportunity to create their own art piece on the day.
After the workshop you will take home your work to finish at home. If you wish to enter it into the Bend Art Competition then you will have to deliver your work in its frame for exhibition and judging.

Materials on the workshop day will be free but you may need some basic things at home to finish, for example, paint, glue etc.
The attendees can choose whether to enter their art into the subsequent art competition.
An example is shown in the image on this page without the frame.
