Before we say farewell to our major exhibition Into Abstraction: Modern British Art and the Landscape on Sun 18 Jan, we’re getting hands-on and diving headfirst into the playful, puzzling, and powerful world of abstraction.
Inspired by the exhibition, these workshops are your chance to experiment and explore abstract art in unexpected ways across different mediums.
