SUMMARY:Smethwick Imaginarium - Collaging The Canal
DESCRIPTION:With Ezra Jackson. \n\n\n\n\nJoin artist Ezra Jackson for a relaxed collage and drawing workshop exploring the insects and other wildlife you’ll find alongside the canals in Smethwick. We’ll use a range of materials to explore this special habitat\, looking at specimens to inspire creativity. This session follows on from the Community Canal Clean\, 10.30-11.30am. \nEzra Jackson (he/him) is an artist and a second-year student at Birmingham City University studying Fine Art. He is exploring his interest in nature and local wildlife conservation using a range of materials and recycling litter found along canals into artwork. \nSmethwick Imaginarium is a place-based arts programme celebrating the cultural diversity\, canal heritage and community spirit of Smethwick. Six artists working across photography\, performance\, poetry\, graphic design\, sculpture and curation are collaborating with local residents and community organisations to co-create work that explores the role of the Galton Valley Canal in our community. The programme launched in February 2026 with free creative workshops at Smethwick Library and canal activities in partnership with Brasshouse Community Centre. Throughout summer and autumn\, artists will share their work at public moments along the canal and in local venues\, culminating in a celebratory festival.
