Family Workshop: Printing with plants

Join artist Christalena for a hands-on plant printing workshop. You can get creative with natural materials in a sustainable way! Guests will learn how to make ink prints of seasonal fall leaves and flowers, onto small paper bookmarks, that everyone can take home and use in their library books. Suitable for families and children of all ages. Drop in anytime for some fall fun!

The workshop will take place in the children’s library, where a new exhibition: The Tree – has been opened. The exhibition explores the concept of trees in children’s books, featuring illustrations from Nordic picture books. These books are part of The Bookworm, a Nordic database of educational materials related to books nominated for The Nordic Council Children and Young People’s Literature Prize. The database is free and accessible to everyone in all Nordic languages at bokslukaren.org.

After the workshop visitors are encouraged to enjoy their time and take part in interactive games in relation to the exhibition. Ask at the library desk for a copy of a banana game. Make your own tree illustration and hang your art work up in special frames in the middle of the exhibition. You can ask at the library desk if you need more craft materials or have any questions regarding the exhibition or the activities.
