About this event

Join Chester Beatty this Easter break to create a beautiful hanging scroll inspired by the suspended installation by the artist Jennifer Sturrock.

The installation by artist Jennifer Sturrock was commissioned to coincide with the Manuscripts and the Mind exhibition. We will be creating images and text by layering see-through sheets embellished with drawings, and ornamental elements. Limited to 15 participants at one time.

FREE, no booking required. Please note: children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
