Jupiter Artland

A children’s workshop for ages 8 to 12 exploring the Jupiter Artland collection on paper led by Sara Gough.

Sara is an artist and teacher whose aim is to encourage all her students to find inspiration in the creative process. While observing,recording ,and developing techniques are essential, making art should be an enjoyable and energising experience,with room for fun and experimentation.
