Join us at Scandinavia House for an adult art workshop and tour of our current exhibition, Fog Swept Cargo: Art from the Faroe Islands. Inspired by the work of artist Hansina Iversen, workshop participants will create non-figurative acrylic paintings. Guided by teaching artist Korka, participants will use acrylic paint, to explore color-mixing and painting techniques in a relaxed atmosphere. All materials are provided.
