Heritage Open Days 2008
Enjoy this once-a-year chance to discover hidden
architectural treasures and enjoy a wide range of tours which bring
to life the history and culture of the Harrogate
district.
Marvel at the fun had during October half-term
2007!
We invited children along to help us recreate this painting of a
Turkmen Lady, on show in our latest exhibition Beyond the
Caspian Sea: Art from Turkmenistan.
Artist, Rachel Massey, drew a large-scale outline of the
painting and cut up another into 'jigsaw' pieces for visitors to
use collage and drawing materials to draw patterns inspired by
the other works on show in the exhibition.
At the end of the day, we had this newly painted Turkmen lady,
now on show!
This event was part of the Campaign for Drawing's national
celebration
'The Big
Draw'.
