SUMMARY:Collage workshop with Phill Jupitus (Several sessions throughout the day)
DESCRIPTION:In this one hour session you will create your very own collaged postcard using magazine and print media under Phill’s guidance. Expect a few laughs along the way. \nAll materials supplied but feel free to bring some collage materials if you wish.  \nA very limited number of free bursary tickets are available. Contact workshops@theminories.org to apply. \nAge 16+ \nThis will be held on the first floor and there is currently no lift. Please consider this prior to booking. \nAbout Phill JupitusPhill Jupitus drifted aimlessly onto national television in the mid 1990s after trying a number of different careers in the arts on for size. Unfortunately for him television was not that challenging\, quite comfortable and paid very well so there he remained until around 2019\, also along the way\, dabbling in film\, writing\, theatre\, music\, poetry and breakfast radio.  \nHaving started as a self taught cartoonist/designer in the early 1980s\, he had often wondered if perhaps he had missed out by not undertaking a formal arts education. So he enrolled on a BA course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee. Despite never completing the course he persists in making art to this day. He has been made an honorary Doctor of Arts by both Essex University and the University of Kent\, and lives on the East coast of Scotland with his wife and an overly demanding Labrador.
