Arty Afternoons: Mount and frame your artworks

May 30 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Five framed photographs on a grey wall show scenes of fire and everyday objects, creating a contrasting and dramatic visual display.

Wander around the gallery spaces and explore how the different artworks have been mounted and framed. Create an artwork of your own and make a mount and frame to give it a professional gallery look. How will you frame your artwork? What do you want people to focus on when they look at your piece?

FREE family activities take place every Saturday; drop in anytime between 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm.
