The Art of Science Workshop Series

The Polar Museum

Join us at the Polar Museum with artist Alice White, to explore where science and art collide and discover how the spirit of exploration is shared by artists and scientists alike. This exciting series of co-disciplinary workshops for 15-18 year olds combine practical art techniques with live science experiments and a chance to be inspired by the awe inspiring, icy worlds of the Polar Regions.
Workshops are free to book and you can attend one, two or all three in the series. As places are limited, please ensure you are available to attend the workshops in person at the Polar Museum.

Workshop 2 – The Colour of Ice (painting colourful light effects) Monday 26 July, 1pm-4pm

Workshop 3 - Painting Polar Optical Illusions (working with collage and mixed media) Tuesday 27 July, 1pm-4pm
