A drop, a puddle, an ocean!
12:30–3:30 p.m.
Let's explore and discover the wonders and fascinations of water. This artistic journey examines the journey of water from ice to droplets, from droplets to streams, and from streams to oceans. The sea of imagination carries us to build underwater worlds, islands, bridges, rivers, and streams.
This art workshop is suitable for the whole family, but be sure to wear clothes that won't be ruined by a few small drops.
Instructor: Jenni Vilander
Balancing Act sculpture
Can you stand on one leg or on your hands? How would it feel to dance on a tightrope? How does a parkour expert move?
In the workshop, participants will be inspired by balancing and create a small sculpture out of modeling clay.
