Kathleen Jennings: Silhouette Bookplate workshop
Join local writer and illustrator Kathleen Jennings for a Silhouette Bookplate workshop developed in response to our current exhibitions Spowers & Syme and A Matter of Looking: 20th century works from the QUT Art Collection at QUT Art Museum.
Join Kathleen to explore the principles of silhouette art, cutting techniques, composition and design to create a silhouette bookplate in a style of your very own!
All welcome. Registrations essential.
