Creative February Half Term at Abbot Hall

Address: Kendal, Cumbria, LA9 5AL
Venue: Abbot Hall
Website: https://lakelandarts.org.uk/events/february-half-term-abbot-hall/
10.30 am to 3.45pm. Get creative this February half term at Abbot Hall, with hands-on activities inspired by the Simon Starling: Boat Works exhibition. Using images from ‘Simon Starling: Boat Works’, collage a boat and imagine where it would row, sail or float! Trace, cut and decorate various concertina shapes that connect with our ‘Simon Starling: Boat Works’ exhibition. What shapes will you create? Sully the Cat has added a new prompt to the Abbot Hall Art Trail! One of the pieces in the ‘Simon Starling: Boat Works’ exhibition includes live plants. What types of plants can you spot? Find the clues in Gallery 8. On Thursday 19th from 10.30 to 11.30am and 2 to 3pm join our free artist-led workshop and paint a toy block to help add colour and creativity to our Creative space.
