  RE-Dress the Wallpaper House (art education workshops with the public.) Alongside an Art exhibition by Kerry Mackay; Re-Skin

The art department artists and art educators, Kerry Mackay and Pamela Brown, invite the public to re-dress The Wallpaper House. A giant house-sized apron framework has been built to fit the front of the house. Interested people can come along and make a small art work to add to the apron's surface. This will result in a colourful, collaborative streetscape. Kerry and Pamela will guide the making process, so that all can feel involved.
As studio space is limited, large groups need to contact us first, but otherwise, please come and join us.
Re-Skin by Kerry Mackay will be on show in the gallery space adjoining the workshops. This features re-worked vintage coats, re-skinned handbags, taxidermy, parrots, cats and lambs!!

Date: 11th - 22nd March
Time: 12pm - 4pm daily
Venue: 29 Lees Street, Central City
Cost: Free (workshops funded by Creative NZ Communities)
