Community mural art workshop with Lily Hammond

Chantry Library
Jul 29, 2024 9:45 AM

Join illustrator and owner of UWU Studios Lily Hammond for this free creative workshop for 10-16 year olds at Chantry Library, as part of The Blank Page Project! Get involved in a two-day workshop to continue co-creating our community mural at Chantry Library which was started in the Easter holidays.

Workshops take place from 9.45AM to 3.30PM and include a free lunch, drinks and snacks!

We will continue the process of brightening up the out door space at Chantry Library, doing another mural! We will also create a journal style sketchbook, using polaroid cameras to photograph and annotate the process of how we have created our community mural!
