Art workshop with Melkorka Helgadottir

Join us at Scandinavia House for a beginner friendly adult art workshop. Inspired by the work of Scandinavian artists, such as The Icelandic Love Corporation and Ýr Jóhannsdóttir, participants will create a textile collage. Guided by teaching artist Melkorka, participants will use thrifted second-hand clothing and found fabrics to create a collage in a relaxed atmosphere. All materials are provided.
