Bow Families: drawing with watercolour and playful mark-making with Katka Krajči

Sunday 26th January 2025, 11:00am to 1:00pm , Bow Arts Trust Courtyard Room, 183 Bow Road

Using vibrant watercolour pencils, join artist Katka Krajči to create your own unique drawings with playful mark-making — scribbles, swirls and freehand doodles. With a little water, those drawings will transform into colourful, swirling masterpieces where the lines blur and new shapes begin to emerge. Open to children and families of all ages – all materials provided.
