ArtWalls: Capes & Cakes (session #1) — EXPLORE CLAY ON FABRIC
Welcome to the world of Capes & Cakes, Arte a la Carta's newest ArtWalls Experience for January 2025!
This ArtWalls Series takes place over 5 sessions and culminates in the Capes & Cakes event on January 25th, where we will devour homemade cake and sip cava while wearing our homemade CAPES! What could be more playful and magical than that?
In this session, you'll get to enjoy the sensorial experience of playing with clay and slip. Slip is a liquid mixture of clay and water used to stain fabric, and today you’ll use it to create unique designs on antique cotton. The clay will leave a permanent stain, even after washing, allowing you to transform the fabric into one-of-a-kind patterns inspired by your imagination.
Wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy!
**At checkout, there is the option to purchase a ticket for this session + entry to the exhibition for 29 euros. This includes a slice of homemade cake and a glass of cava at the "Capes & Cakes" Vamos a Ver Exhibition on January 25th!**
