Opening Next Week: Brilliant Colour by Katie Russell
From June 21 through to July 20, Katie Russell presents Brilliant Colour. Through the medium of relief printmaking, Brilliant Colour celebrates the vibrancy and joy of gardening. Growing plants, whether it be an indoor jungle or a frilly flowerbed, is a mindful experience that removes us from the stress of our busy lives. Katie translates that experience into brightly coloured, patterned woodcuts and linocuts.
Celebrate Brilliant Colour by joining us for a Meet and Make Session with Katie from 4-6pm on June 29. In this drop-in session, you can have a go at making your own print inspired by the exhibition! All materials, plus light refreshments, will be provided. Koha entry.

You could use an old cardboard box for the body and cover it in fabric scraps. Find out how to make your own nutcracker with these easy step by step instructions.
