Make Your Monday: Body Sculpture
Make Your Monday is a hands-on making session suitable for families. In this session, we will be making body sculptures inspired by the artist Tan Draig, whose artwork ‘Altar to Health’ uses all sorts of different objects to create body sculptures. Tan’s work will be on display at Pickford’s House when it reopens.
