Hafnarborg invites elementary school children in Hafnarfjörður to take part in creative art workshops hosted by the museum during the winter break on October 20 and 21. The workshops are open to all children and their families who wish to let their creativity flow and enjoy working with a variety of materials. Each workshop has its own theme, so participants are welcome to join either or both days.

Halloween Bag Workshop
Monday, October 20th, 13–15
In this creative workshop, participants will have the opportunity to play with colors and design their own cloth bag. The bag can be decorated, drawn, or painted according to one’s own ideas and can then be used for Halloween – when going out to collect treats or play tricks – or for other autumn projects.

The Multilingual Forest School (Escola florestal)
Tuesday, October 21st, 13–15
Artists Fernanda Fajardo and Anne Rombach lead an art workshop for families in Icelandic, Portuguese, Spanish, English, and German. Participants will draw inspiration from the forest and create creatures from leaves, branches, and other natural materials in the spirit of autumn. The workshop is held in connection with the museum’s event program In My Language.

The workshops take place in Apótekið on the museum’s first floor, and children are encouraged to attend with an accompanying adult. As always, participation in the art workshops is free of charge for guests, as is admission to the museum’s exhibitions. Everyone is warmly welcome.
