All your materials are provided.
What to Expect:
Exploration and Experimentation: Delve into the raw images of Saturn, and explore various drawing techniques such as scratching, rubbing, masking, and more.
Collaborative Creation: Contribute to a collaborative mosaic drawing that will be displayed in the Northlight Gallery for two weeks.
Take Home Your Art: When the exhibition ends participants can take their individual drawings home.
Don’t miss this opportunity to blend art and astronomy in a fun and educational setting. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a complete beginner, this workshop promises a day of creativity, learning, and community. We look forward to seeing you at Northlight Arts Centre for this stellar artistic adventure.
