Winter Holiday Crafternoons: Clay Portraits | Art Gallery of Burlington

Details

Winter Holiday Crafternoons: Clay Portraits is an exciting studio programming event for families in Burlington. Hosted at the Art Gallery of Burlington on December 29th, 2023, this event offers a unique opportunity for families to come together and create art inspired by the gallery's exhibitions. The theme for this event is FAMILY, inspired by the works of Sybil Atteck and Chiedza Pasipanodya, as well as the gallery's permanent collection currently on display. During this event, families will have the chance to make clay portraits. Drawing inspiration from Sybil Atteck's paintings of her family members and friends, participants can create three-dimensional clay faces of their loved ones. Whether it's their own face, a sibling's face, or the face of a chosen family member, this tactile project allows families to immortalize their loved ones in art. The clay works will be fired and ready for pickup at a later date, and participants will receive ideas for painting their creations. In addition to enjoying a creative afternoon, attendees are encouraged to contribute to the Burlington Food Bank by bringing non-perishable food and hygiene products. The food bank has experienced a significant increase in the need for assistance, and community contributions will support their efforts in meeting the growing demand for food security. To ensure a smooth experience, participants must register for the event and review the gallery's safety guidelines on their website. Cancellations must be made at least two weeks in advance, and refunds will be provided up until December 15th. With limited capacity for 40 participants, early registration is recommended. Don't miss out on this opportunity to bond as a family and create lasting memories through art. Join Winter Holiday Crafternoons: Clay Portraits at the Art Gallery of Burlington in December 2023.
