Bow Families: dreaming up creatures of the future with Carlos Cortes

Sunday 30th October 2022 , 11:00am to 1:00pm

 Bow Families is a series of free, drop-in family art workshops that take place on the last Sunday of every month in the Bow Arts Courtyard. These sessions are a wonderful opportunity for local families to get creative and try something new! Each session is led by a Bow Arts’ Artist and all materials are provided. 

What do your creatures of the future look like? Why are they here? What do they eat? How will they change your world? These are just a few of the questions we’ll be digging into with artist Carlos Cortes in our October edition of Bow Families. 

Using a range of fun craft materials and clay, let your imagination run wild as you bring to life fantastical creatures and animals of your own creation.  

This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups.  

Free
