Winter break workshop for children aged 8-10 years old
A two-day free workshop where the unique Sami culture will be explored in the context of the exhibition Is This North? Sami traditions and Sami land will be explored. Special focus will be on Sami patterns, and it will be used as inspiration for gel prints, paint on canvas and creative embroidery. The children’s library’s exhibition TRÉÐ will also be used as a teaching tool for different sketching technique and to show different ways of drawing and interpreting trees.
The teachers of the workshop are Estelle Pollaert, visual artist and Hrafnhildur Gissurardóttir, mediator of arts and culture at the Nordic House. The teaching will take place in English, French and Icelandic. The workshop is free of charge, but due to limited spaces, registration is needed. For that please email full name, age and phone number to: hrafnhildur@nordichouse.is. Fruit will be served both days, but it is recommended that students bring packed lunches as well. Bear in mind that one of the materials used is paint so protective clothing or “painting clothes” recommended.
