About this Event
Participants will work on images of rabbits, inspired by the saying “Rabbit Rabbit!” As superstition goes, on the first day of each month saying "Rabbit Rabbit!" as soon as one wakes up is believed to bring good luck for the rest of the month.
In this workshop, participants will have a choice of a few images to paint; some based on medieval manuscript miniatures, where rabbits often appeared in marginal illuminations, and one based on the image of a chocolate mold in the Civic Museum's collection.
