Specific areas of
focus during the week-long workshop are repousse, watercolour, pastel
painting, ceramics/ jewellery, and printmaking.
A release from the

telephone number, three images of recent work, and a recent one-page
resume to Unilag/Oyasaf@gmail.com. Successful candidates will be
notified by April 6.
