We do together: Autumn motifs//plastic workshop activity

We invite you to a unique workshop full of color, during which we will create original drawings inspired by the colors and shapes of autumn. We will observe how nature changes and transfer these observations to paper in the form of lines, spots and patterns. This is a great opportunity to take a break from everyday chores and just play with form and color.

Action open to all, children, parents and guardians. You don't need any artistic skills, what matters is curiosity and the desire to create together.

Creative work awaits you in a calm atmosphere, a lot of good energy and satisfaction from self-made drawings inspired by autumn.
