About this Event
Join RE-GARDE and Roua Atelier for PRIMARY COLOURS: a series of three hands-on evenings exploring colour through art, science, textiles and food.
Each evening focuses on one primary colour and brings together three elements: an inspiring talk by a guest speaker, a guided creative workshop and a shared dinner designed by Aleksandra Ola Sliwinski. The food is an integral part of the experience, with a different colour-inspired menu for each evening, reflecting the materials and techniques explored.
Discover new techniques, experiment with colour and materials, and create your own piece to take home. No previous experience is needed.
