What is augmented reality (AR) and how can it be used within creative practices? In this workshop led by artist Sung Nam Han, learn about different forms of AR and experiment with using everyday technology to generate a new encounter with the world around you. We will be working collaboratively to develop a collection of playful artworks. All welcome! Please bring along smartphone if you have one.

Groundwerk is a monthly series of free practical workshops for artists and creatives wishing to gain the skills to support their practice.

This workshop is free to attend and open to all but booking is recommended, as spaces are limited.
