Wednesday Night Workshop - Abstract Bauhaus and Cakes: a textured art workshop

Welcome back to Wednesday Night Workshops; come and play! This year we will explore art and creativity through the alphabet, with our first workshop of the year taking in ABC – Abstract Bauhaus and Cakes.

In this workshop, participants will be guided by facilitator and artist Yaz Gaté to make their very own textured piece of art.  Using a variety of materials including watercolour, acrylic paint and acrylic putty filler - participants are invited to create their very own piece of textured art inspired by abstract Bauhaus art and cakes while enjoying tasty snacks with other creatives.  

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels, and materials and light refreshments are provided. Suitable for those aged 18+ only.
