Artist Network Event

In the first of a series of Norfolk & Norwich Festival Artist Network events, we are joined at Sheringham Museum by Hannelore Smith – a multi-disciplinary artist based in North Norfolk.
Trained in Textile Design at Chelsea College of Art & Design, Hannelore is a practicing artist creating textural castings, sculptures, and monochromatic prints. Her current practice focuses on increasing community engagement with museum collections.

Hannelore was a recipient of our 2024 Artist Bursary, with which she created a series of workshops in partnership with Sheringham Museum to offer local young people a chance to explore their connection with their place and local heritage.

This session is open to practicing artists and those interested in developing their work to incorporate socially engaged practice. The workshop will focus on working together to rethink and reframe how we display collections and objects. You’ll also explore new ways to connect your creative work with collection materials.

Lunch will be provided, and there will be time for networking.
