What is Multiply?
Multiply is a national fund aiming to help adults aged 19+ improve their numeracy skills. It is specifically for those who have *less than a level 2 maths (That’s a GCSE or O level grade C or above or a CSE level 1) or who have a need to refresh their skills.
What’s maths got to do with art?
Well actually you might be surprised at just how much maths you are using when making art, without even realizing it! Our range of multiply courses will help you to feel more confident about your number skills whilst producing your own fantastic artwork.
All Multiply courses are completely FREE for eligible learners*, and learners will also receive a pack of lovely art materials to take away with them at the end of the course.

THURSDAYS
Extra-Ordinary MASH-UP SCULPTURES!, with Warren Day

The course runs for 4 weeks / 10 hours
FREE subject to eligibility*
What happens when you make a hybrid sculpture of a banana crossed with a hotdog? Or a pair of pliers and a crabs claw? What would a familiar looking fruit look like if it was covered with an animal skin or scales? For this project we will experiment with the idea of taking ordinary objects and changing them into something extra-ordinary!
During this course you will develop your skills in 3 dimensions through a series of fun workshops and experiment with a variety of media and materials such as card, wire, modroc and found objects to create a 3D ‘mash-up’ sculpture which will conclude in a very unusual and conversation evoking piece of art. You will explore different cutting, forming and joining techniques and link to other artists and subject matter will be made. Basic measurements and simple calculations to scale up your forms will also help you to feel more confident about your number skills whilst producing your own fantastic artwork.
No experience necessary – just imagination and enthusiasm!
