Drawing through the touch, texture and surface of an object with Hannelore Baxter, Fitzwilliam Museum
Join artist Hannelore Baxter for this art workshop, suitable for ages 7+
Using our sense of touch and feel we will make artwork that describes the surface texture of an object. We will use techniques of frottage rubbing, wax resist and collage to make a textural artwork.
