Join artist-educator Kashish Saini to create vibrant collages with colourful cellophane patterns and letters, bringing your memories to life through art. Open to children and families of all ages – all materials provided.
Join artist-educator Kashish Saini for a creative, hands-on workshop as we explore the exciting world of collage making. Using colourful cellophane to create patterns, letters, shapes and mixed-media elements, participants will transform personal memories, favourite moments and imaginative stories into vibrant, layered works of art. Guided by Kashish, children will experiment with colour, texture, layering and composition to express their ideas in a fun and welcoming environment.
Open to children and families of all ages, this inclusive workshop celebrates creativity, memory and imagination. All materials are provided, so participants can simply bring their ideas and enthusiasm and leave with a unique artwork that captures a special memory in colour!
This event is an inclusive, friendly environment which is accessible to all abilities and age groups.
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 Room.
