Hafnarborg invites elementary school children in Hafnarfjörður to come and take part in creative art workshops run by the museum during the winter break on February 19 and 20. The workshops are open to anyone who wants 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 one or both days.
Make flowers Thursday, February 19 from 13:00–15:00 In this workshop, participants draw inspiration from Eggert Pétursson’s exhibition Roði, where colors, organic forms, and close connections to nature are central. Afterwards, we create small and beautiful flowers from fine wire and beads, working with line, form, and balance in a playful and imaginative way.
Skrípó workshop Friday, February 20 from 13:00–15:00 Author and visual artist Atla Hrafney will guide participants into the world of comic art, where we try creating our own characters, telling stories through images and text, and developing ideas in a free and playful manner. The workshop is ideal for those who are always drawing something fun or want to learn how to make humorous comics.
The workshops take place in Apótekið on the museum’s first floor, and children are encouraged to attend with an adult. As always, participation in the art workshops is free of charge for visitors, just like access to the museum’s exhibitions. You are all warmly welcome.
