Make wearable art to express yourself! Join artist Grace Venning in a creative workshop for families, inspired by Egyptian designs. While ancient Egyptian clothing was often simple white linen, people used jewellery and accessories to express themselves with colour, texture, and shiny bling. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use a variety of materials and design wearable art that tells your story and personality.
