About
Join us for a festive mark-making session on folded cards where we explore how to capture evocative and atmospheric effects, looking closely at details from works in Room 32. We will explore painterly marks, strokes and gestures as we slow down and look closely through this restorative practice.
Your work can be taken away and used as festive greeting cards.
Materials are generously provided by Stabilo.
