Raeburn’s Shadow Family Workshop

Open the door and join us in No.7 Charlotte Square to enjoy a Georgian age of grand portraits and silhouette shadows. Inspired by the specially commissioned silhouette artwork Walking in Raeburn’s Shadow, this workshop will teach you the popular art of papercutting so you can create something to take home for your own wall.

Leading paper-cut artist Tessa Asquith-Lamb will guide you through the process so you can make your own silhouettes, demonstrating how to capture the essence of a New Town lady or a gentleman of Raeburn’s day.

Suitable for ages 6 years and up and accompanied by an adult/carer. Ticket admission provides access to exhibition.

(Class limit of 15)
