LEGO® Printmaking Workshop

- 12:30 pm
Where: Art Gallery Classroom
Come get your dots in order during LEGO® Week at the Rooms!
In this fun workshop for kids ages 8-12, young creators will use LEGO® dots to craft unique abstract designs and transform them into one-of-a-kind prints. We will visit the art exhibit How Do I Look?, to discover how art tells stories and expresses emotions. Then we’ll dive into creating our own LEGO® dot masterpieces, experimenting with patterns and textures. To finish, we’ll add a splash of color with ink, turning our designs into take-home prints!
All workshop materials included in the cost. This workshop may get messy – appropriate clothing recommended.
Cost: $20 plus HST. 10% Discount for Rooms Members.
Seats are limited. Please call (709) 757-8090 to book your child’s space.

What can a scrapbook tell us about the lives of young women? How can we use historical documents as inspiration for present projects?
Viola Bown of Bell Island gave her father’s coal delivery ledger a second life by turning it into her scrapbook and titled it “Everywoman’s Notebook,” a scrapbook which can be found in The Rooms large archival collection. Filled with fashion illustrations and knitting patterns, Viola’s scrapbook offers a small but unique glimpse into her world.
Join us for a look at Viola’s scrapbook and a discussion about the process of using one of the patterns featured to make a cozy jacket and cap set from 1933.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
