Creating Dream Boats – Sat 28 Jul 2018

Date: Saturday 28 July 2018, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Venue: York Art Gallery

Create a boat inspired by Trade Winds (the work of Susan Stockwell on display in our The Sea is the Limit exhibition) and think what journeys and adventures it could bring.

Sail Away is a group of small boats made from old paper currency, stamps, tickets and maps.

In mythology, boats are symbolic carriers for our dreams and ways to enjoy adventures, escape and journeys.

Drop in to one of our informal workshops. There’s no need to book and admission is included with entry to the gallery.
