Braque was a major 20th-century French painter, collagist, draughtsman, printmaker and sculptor. His most important contributions to the history of art were in his alliance with Fauvism from 1905, and the role he played in the development of Cubism.

This workshop is for fun-loving individuals who want to get creative. We’ll understand better how Braque is studying the shapes within the object and pulling them apart to move them around. Over the course of 1 hour, we’ll be exploring cubists mixed media collage techniques and experimenting with materials to create our version of the famous ‘Violin and pipe’.
