Spring awakening
About
Welcome spring with Gallery Educator and artist Emily Motto for an immersive workshop designed to refocus the mind and promote wellbeing. Find calm, peace, and balance through the restorative practice of mark making.
Using a range of mark making tools on various surfaces (coloured papers, tracing paper, mirrors), we will pay close attention to texture and line in paintings in Room 34, collecting moments, marks, and gestures.
