# Event Details

- **Event Name**: How is your Heart? The workshop
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 am
- **Event Description**: Join Siân Quennell Torrington for a dynamic workshop using drawing and fast sculpture making to explore what happens when we use found and scrap materials to express what’s here in the moment. Playful and experimental, this workshop is open to everyone, from complete beginners to experienced artists. Siân will share materials and ways of working from their studio, and you’ll create fast, temporary artworks using drawing, collage and assemblage that represent feeling your way through the current times.

For Wing and a Prayer Siân shows claws that hang from the ceiling – heavy iron works cast from what was soft; fabric and wool scraps from an art practice made of gifts and offerings. They are markers of when we try to reach out, but movement is hard. On the floor pool wool nests cradling the mistakes and overflow from a process of fire and transformation. Hear more from Siân about the themes and making of this work, and create your own pieces. 

Spaces are limited so registrations are required via https://www.eventbrite.co.nz/e/how-is-your-heart-the-workshop-tickets-1980681911917?aff=oddtdtcreator

Siân Quennell Torrington explores relationships of interconnectivity, and interdependence, through an expressive language of colour, mark making and structural props that hold drawings and sculptures together, as we are held together. Siân graduated with an MFA with distinction from Massey University in 2010, has had numerous solo and groups shows, and works from a studio in Wellington New Zealand. Their recent interactive installation work includes ‘How is your Heart?’ for The Performance Arcade, and upcoming at Waitohi, Johnsonville. They have held artist residencies in Samoa at Tiapapata Arts Centre, Shanthi Rd, India through the Asia New Zealand Foundation, and The Crucible, Oamaru.
