A three-part mini series for children of short visit to the library’s exhibitions.
Discuss the stories, paintings and secrets that are hidden in them ‘at eye level’, and turn the inspiration into your own original creation in a diverse art workshop – through color, material and imagination.
A surprise letter: Secrets from the archives table and a Pop-Up Workshop – March 12
How can you convey feelings and thoughts to a loved one who is far away? We will take a tour of personal and moving letters from the library’s collections, and discuss the ways in which people throughout history have kept in touch and sent greetings from afar. Together with artist Jenny Mailikhov, we will discover how paper and paint can fold wishes and longings into them, and how a simple illustration can be transformed into a surprising and lively three-dimensional world. Followed by a hands on workshop, making pop-up cards. (Recommended for 7-11 year olds)
Jenny Mylikhov is a children’s book illustrator who creates magical worlds and tells stories.
