Patterned Places with Artist, Michelle Le Plastrier

Patterned Places invites participants to explore colour, pattern and form through a hands-on creative activity inspired by the work on display “There’s No Place Like Home”. Through a process of collage, construction and experimentation, participants will transform simple materials into artworks while exploring how shapes, colours and patterns can suggest places, landscapes and imagined worlds.

Workshops run for 45 minutes, are open to all ages and are FREE!

Parent supervision essential for under 16’s.
