On Saturday 10 August 2024 Bluecoat Display Centre will be joined in the gallery by Talia Hasid, who will be chatting informally about her collection ‘The Language of Birdsong’ and demonstrating some of her techniques.
Talia is a recent illustration and graphic design graduate from Liverpool John Moore’s University. ‘The Language of Birdsong’ is a series of gouache bird portraits and handmade concertina books exploring the unique language of bird sonograms by using embossing and burnishing techniques. They aim to capture the individuality of each bird and the peaceful presence they bring to the world.
Talia is inspired by nature, literature and the simplicities of life. With a love for craftsmanship and the delicate process of creating artworks, she aims for her work to evoke feelings of peace, and to connect others with her illustrations.
Booking is not required for this event, just pop into the Bluecoat Display Centre between 2pm – 4pm to gain a valuable insight into this talented emerging maker’s work.
