TEXTURE HUNTING IN CLUJ
The „Texture Hunting in Cluj” workshop invites you to reconnect with the city through a unique, outdoor creative experience. Whether you’re alone, with a partner, friends, or children, you can join a group exploring Cluj’s city center to experiment with an artistic technique and discover fascinating stories from the city’s past.
You will learn to take non-invasive casts of various textures, which we will then imprint into an art and exploration notebook. It’s a perfect opportunity to see the city with new eyes and create your own „collection” of tactile memories. At the end of the workshop, you’ll go home with your very own exploration notebook, ink pad, brush, and the special modeling clay used for the casts!
Date of the next workshop: May 31st, 10:30 AM
