In May 2010, A Flavour of Spain will run the fourth workshop by Nick Bantock at El Molino del Conde. Delivered by Accident
in Twilight - The Art of Collage. The daily sessions focus on making two
and three-dimensional collages from found materials as well as Nick’s usual
mix of stamps, maps, documents, paint, and other ephemera. Participants
don’t need to have a high level of artistic skill, though creative
experience won’t hinder.
