Hafnarborg invites primary school children in Hafnarfjörður to come and take part in fun and creative art workshops run by the museum during the winter school holidays, on 23 and 24 February. Each workshop will have its own theme, so you are welcome to take part on one or both days.

Colourful wall hanging
Monday 23 October, 1 pm - 3 pm
In the workshop, participants will be introduced to the magical world of colour by creating a wall hanging from colourful yarn. The colour wheel and basic principles of colour theory will be covered, such as complementary colours, warm and cool colours, as well as value, tone, and intensity. Participants will be shown examples of how colours influence one another and how different moods can be created through their combination and arrangement. The workshop will be led by artist Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir.

Hats and Sun
Tuesday, 24 October, 1 pm - 3 pm
Sól Hansdóttir, fashion designer and one of the models at the Hafnarborg autumn show, A landscape for the chosen, She leads an art workshop where participants will create a hat with an artistic design under her guidance. The workshop will explore how and when a hat becomes more than just a practical head covering, but a sculpture or work of art in its own right. All materials for the creation are provided by Hafnarborg.

The workshops take place in the Pharmacy on the first floor of the museum, and children are advised to be accompanied by an adult. As usual, participation in the art workshops is free of charge for visitors, as is admission to the museum's exhibitions. You are very welcome.
