About this Event
A special Summer Holiday Family activity day responding to themes of our current exhibition – Anne Desmet Kaleidoscope: London.
Explore and create with workshop activities led by artist Lorraine McCourt. Try your hand at printmaking with handmade stamps to create geometric patterns, make your own Kaleidoscopes or SKY Window inspired collages.
Award-winning poet and storyteller Shamim Azad will conduct storytelling sessions by exploring the theme of kaleidoscopes. Through a range of characters and storylines, she will share a special story. Shamim will encourage participants to create their own stories with a ‘Story Kaleidoscope activity' through a range of diverse objects and symbols. This will encourage participants to use their imagination to navigate stories in different ways just like the wonderful artworks of Anne Desmet.
11am – 4pm Lower Gallery - hands-on workshops all day
11.30 am – 12.15am and 2.30pm - 3.15pm – Storytelling - Main and Lower Gallery
