Join award-winning artist and Spider-Man enthusiast, Hetain Patel, for a hands-on workshop creating your own miniature personalised Ford Escort car. 

Starting with a paper template that Hetain has designed, you are invited to create a mini car and decorate it in any way your imagination takes you. Hetain has transformed two full-size Ford cars, one into a larger-than-life Transformer, and another, which he completely covered in his grandmother’s rug pattern that he hand-tufted. How will you transform your car?

This workshop is part of the Come As You Really Are programme.

The National Festival of Making with Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery and Artangel presents Come As You Really Are by Hetain Patel.

The exhibition brings together objects created, modified or collected by hobbyists in Lancashire and the UK, and is part of a network of 13 partner organisations across the UK, collaborating to assemble a nationwide celebration of creativity and self-expression.

Come As You Really Are also features workshops and performances by local hobbyists, as well as the screening of a new artist film.
