Free Family Make-and-Create, Looking & Making: Oil Pastel Portraits

Come and join us at WAM on Saturday, 10 October 2026, from 11:30–13:00 for a Free Family Make-and-Create workshop inspired by the exhibition The Vanilla Sisters Lunch Club: Our Portraits, Our Stories. Experienced docents Pam and Elona will begin with an interactive exploration of selected works in the exhibition, inviting families to look closely and discover the stories held within the paintings. We’ll then get creative with a hands-on activity, making our own oil pastel portraits inspired by the exhibition. Bring the whole family and spend your Saturday morning looking, making and exploring together at WAM. We’d love to have you join us! All ages welcome, all materials are provided, and no booking or art experience is required. Free parking for the workshop is available in the garage.
