A creative painting workshop for 5-11 year olds using botanical forms and shadows, inspired by Spike Island exhibiting artist Nour Jaouda.
About this Event

Join us for a workshop using botanical forms and their shadows to explore drawing, painting and collage, inspired by Spike Island exhibiting artist Nour Jaouda and her multi-layered textile works.

Young artists and their carers will work collaboratively to build large group collages, using paint to explore the natural forms within Jaouda’s work.

This session is for children aged 5-11 years old and their carers. No previous experience in art making is required and all materials are provided.
