Join this collaborative artwork as you build a garden of gemstones, minerals and precious stones out of paper.
Take a walk through the Minerals gallery to be inspired by our crystal and rock collection before honing in your observation and drawing skills to design your crystal or rock.
Learn to utilise different craft techniques and bring your drawings to life through 3D paper craft pop up techniques, creating a truly unique miniature wonderland.
As the day goes by, get excited to watch our garden grow. Then choose to take your gemstone home or find a spot in our collaborative garden.
This drop-in workshop will be fun for all ages.
