LAS pop up residency Jeanette Killner

As part of the 2024 Lincolnshire Artists’ Society exhibition at the Usher Gallery ten members are taking up residence in the gallery space on Saturdays throughout the run of the exhibition. The artists will show samples, display methods and techniques, talk to visitors about their own practice and their involvement with LAS during these pop-up residencies.

This Saturday Jeanette Killner will be taking up residence in the Usher Gallery within the LAS exhibition. During the residency Jeanette will be working on the components needed to assemble a 3D dodecahedron. Admire the various stages of making a piece of work, from the untreated metal obtained from aluminium cans and the initial drawings, through to a variety of finished items. Observe a range of examples of folding, cutting, embossing and decorating techniques which can be achieved with the basic hand tools that she uses. Observe and discuss her range of techniques and methods.
