Family Festival - Mark Makers
Get creative as a family this summer and become your own Mark Makers, inspired by the trailblazing Impressionist Berthe Morisot.
Explore the radical techniques Morisot used to create her paintings and discover how radical art making techniques are used today. Workshops will include painting outdoors, exploration of colour and light and capturing the everyday. We can ALL be artists.
