Bow Families: natural dyes and painting with Lou-Atessa Marcellin
Sunday 30th April 2023 , 11:00am to 1:00pm
Join artist Lou-Atessa Marcellin and discover the spectrum of colours that can be found in everyday food stuff and plants to draw where we live, in multi-colour form.
What’s one place in your local area that makes you feel at home, happy and comfortable?
Using this as our starting point, children and families will mark out their own individual representations of their special place, before choosing some colours that best embody their mood and how they are feeling, from a range of vibrant natural dyes. We will then bring our drawn spaces and places to life by painting and animating them with our selected favourite colours.
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. 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
