Hold the Line ! Big Draw 2002

To coincide with the annual national event "The BIg Draw", the RBS Gallery hosted an exhibition of young artist's work and related workshops that challenges our traditional understanding of drawing.
Working with Lyndons Arts Trust the Gallery was a showcase
of the creative work of CSV volunteers in the Local Borough

the conventional idea of 'drawing' by questioning our perception of line and space.

Zimbabwe Stone Sculpting

George Mubayi and Elvis Mamvura, two talented sculptors from Harare, are steeped in the traditions of Zimbabwe Stone Sculpting with its close affinity to the spirit within each stone.

They helped participants to ranslate their ideas into stone whilst teaching them to listen to what the stone tells you using opal stone specially bought over from Zimbabwe.
