Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, create both a hanging mobile and a petri dish-inspired artwork.
Using enlarged images of these tiny life forms, we’ll explore how to represent real microscopic organisms – and invent our own creations.
This workshop is designed for children to enjoy independently. Parents and carers, feel free to relax in our lovely cafés or explore our galleries while the kids get creative.
