Exhibitions and programs for PETER BOOTH, curated by Anthony Fitzpatrick

Join local Healesville-based artist Clare James at TarraWarra Museum of Art for the workshops Making Paint and Ink (Saturday 22 January)OR Making Things with What You Find (Saturday 29 January).Children are invited to use a variety of materials to develop sustainable art practices that engage deeply with art, place and ideas. Both workshops will stimulate children to explore and experiment with things found in the natural world or around the home, to create three-dimensional objects OR their very own paints and inks. Children will be invited to think like an artist – crossed with a scientist and an inventor! Harnessing their own creativity and curiosity as they carry out three-dimensional OR painterly and inky experiments will help them to make the most amazing discoveries. Complimentary copies of the two award-winning TARRAWARRA FIELD GUIDES, Making Paint and Ink and Making Things with What You Find, will be provided to participants to take home after their workshop. $20 per child ($15 for members) or $5 for Yarra and Dandenong Ranges residents, thanks to Yarra Ranges Council. 12 children per workshop Suitable for ages 6 – 14 Held outdoors in a marquee on the beautiful Museum grounds.
