Why You'll Love This Workshop

Bridget Riley's work reminds us that art isn't always about painting realistic images. Sometimes simple lines and repeating patterns can completely transform the way we experience an artwork. This class encourages creativity, observation and playful experimentation while producing a piece that is both modern and visually striking.
