Textile printing in the Workshop: Make your mark at The Ark!
Printing sessions @ 5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm, 6.30pm, 7pm & 7.30pm, 8pm
Work with artists from PRINT BLOCK to help create a large-scale, animal themed, piece of textile art. Various printing methods such as block printing and stencil printing will be available to try. The final piece of textile art will then be exhibited in The Ark for the duration of the upcoming Bless the Beasts exhibition so the children will be able to come back to view the work they helped to make! Children will also be given the option of making a printed card badge (of the Ark Unicorn) that they can take home.
Tickets allocated from 4.30pm, first come first served.
