The Family Room - Tape Art

Sat 29 & Sun 30 October

Free. The Studio. 11am - 3pm.

Our week dedicated to the Big Draw comes to an end in a rather spectacular way. For the first time ever, you will have the chance to draw all over the studio walls and floors with designs as big as you can manage using some very sticky, very brightly coloured tape. Surely a great way of spending an autumn weekend...
