CANCELLED: Ladder to the Moon: Visual Art Workshops 21 Mar 2020
Celebrate the marvels of the magical moon in this 3D and mixed media workshop with Jole Bortoli as part of our Fly Me To The Moon visual art programme.
The moon has always had a very special place in our imaginations. We have dedicated songs, music, poetry and paintings to it and got lost under its enchanting influence.
Following your tour of our Fly Me To The Moon space-themed displays, explore how we can celebrate this wonderful celestial body in this practical and fun visual art workshop.
