Get inspired by geology in this creative illustration workshop
Rocks are all around us but we rarely pay attention to them. In this relaxed science art workshop with science illustrator Vojta Hýbl, get inspired by the building blocks of our planet. Using a range of beginner-friendly approaches, we will explore rocks from both scientific and artistic points of view to get to know them better and draw our way into a different understanding of geology.
Presented by Dynamic Earth and Rocks on Paper
Suitable for Ages 14+
Additional Dates: 12 April 2025
