Art Studio course gallery

Brief: Inspired by Jim Dine / Tools of the Trade

Artists were invited to respond to the work of American contemporary artist Jim Dine and his depictions of tools and other hardware. They could work with a selection of supplied tools, their own tools or reference / found images…
