Shadows of Our Lives
What do our lives actually look like?
Inspired by the tools and objects in the ‘Working Through It’ Exhibition, we take everyday tools, using lights, we’ll create a painting from the shadows they leave behind; we’ll explore what lives look like from the perspective of the objects and tools we use and what this says about us.
You may want to bring an object with you that represents your life; it could be something you use every day or something personal and important to just you!
About Our Make It Yours Sessions
You’re invited to drop into our Creative Courtyard and make something inspired by the museum collection.
Our creative sessions are free and open to all. Join us to make and create together and contribute to our growing museum! The sessions will be led by artists, makers, and writers, all influenced by this unique museum. Register using the link below.
