What is an object that is important to you? Perhaps it is something that has been passed down from a family member? Or something that has been made lovingly by hand?

In this drop-in workshop you are invited to create your own ‘whimsy’ based on the work of Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson. Starting with an outline of your special object, you can then use pattern, materials, texture, colour and text to decorate it.

All instruction and materials are provided. Suitable for all ages from 5 years. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
