Saturday Art Club special - Sound Lines
10.30am - 12.30pm
An interactive session with sound artist Robert Rizzi (Denmark), in partnership with Nordic Music Days.
You will discover unique lines, patterns, and shapes in our exhibitions and translate these visual elements onto paper strips. Your designs will then be transformed into music by punching holes along the traced lines and bringing your compositions to life using a music box. Experience how visual art and music can cross over as you craft a melody inspired by your surroundings!
A drop in activity for families with children aged 5 +. Booking is not required.
