Overtime Art Club – Making Eye Charms with Reece Kelly

Join Ones to Watch artist Reece Kelly and create Georgian era eye charms to take home, or add to their exhibited collection!

We’re staying late at the Mills this Spring to bring you the Overtime Art Club sessions! Come along for relaxed evenings of drawing, collage, stitching and more – all facilitated by local emerging artists.

This season’s sessions are a series of Ones to Watch specials, getting to know some of our exhibiting emerging artists and learning new skills in a relaxed setting! We are keen to help our Ones to Watch artists develop other areas of their careers outside of Gallery walls, and find many artists and makers diversify their practice through teaching workshops.

During this workshop, participants will learn the history behind a lost fashion trend from the Georgian era, and how this lost piece of history has informed artist Reece Kelly’s practice and the eye charms that appear in their work.

In the workshop we will sew, embroider and bead these charms and use a mix of materials to embellish and create a beautiful unique charm personal to you! You can take your charm away with you or choose to leave it with Reece to add to their exhibited collection.
