Artist Workshop Series: The Experimental Art Club
With Artist Catherine Thomson
Sunday 17 September, 2-4pm
FREE Event
Suitable for Ages 4-10
Spaces will be limited
In our Artist Workshop Series, local artists share their inspiration and skills with children in a series of free classes.
In this session with artist Catherine Thomson, each child will receive a recycled visual diary to keep - made from upcycled paper and map pages. Then, they will set to work filling it with their own inspiration - including crayon rubbings and an organic collage inspired by the artist Xochi Solis.
No reservation required, but spaces will be limited and available on a first-come basis.
