AUTUMN PROGRAM
Sunday 3 September at 13.00–16.00
Make your own book
Come experiment with fun tactile materials and create your own book of abstract collages! With inspiration from Silje Figenschou Thoresen’s exhibition, we will cut and paste and play with color and texture. Monster teacher: Hannah Wiker Wikström, artist
Sunday 10 September at 13.00–16.00
Carbon and collage
We dive into the museum and the park’s surroundings from a micro and macro perspective, examine and capture different structures with charcoal, draw small and large things that we find and then cut our material together into imaginative collages! Monster teacher: Hannah Wiker Wikström, artist
Sunday 17 September at 13.00–16.00
Temporary sculptures
Welcome to participate in a sculpture experiment! With wood, yarn and found material from the local area, we improvise a joint sculpture that grows bigger and bigger during the day. Everyone also gets the opportunity to make their own small sculptures. With Silje Figenschou Thoresen’s exhibition as a source of inspiration, we explore what a temporary sculpture can be. Monster teacher: Lotta Wästerlid Zmuda-Trzebiatowski, artist and art educator
Sunday 8 October at 13.00–16.00
Monster dictionary
Throw yourself into an experiment with words and images! What does your monster look like? And how does that sound? Cut, paste, draw, paint and create an exciting monster dictionary full of babbling, roaring, whispering, laughing monsters. In this workshop we are inspired by the exhibition “herein between spaces” and investigate what can happen when text and image are put together! Morr! Roar! Beep! Whoop! Boiiing! Monster educator: Avigal Pommert, textile artist
Sunday 15 October at 13.00–16.00
Book transformation
Come and help old books with a colorful transformation! With the help of exciting artist materials and techniques, we create completely new book covers. We put our hands in the sea of words and fish out random words – and give the books brand new titles! The workshop takes place in the meeting between words and images, just like our current exhibition “herein between spaces”. Make a book happy – come today! Monster educator: Lotta Wästerlid Zmuda-Trzebiatowski, artist and art educator

Unknown animals
Come and turn cones and sticks, rocks and chestnuts, leaves and moss into cute and scary animals! Create horns and tails, eyes and mouths, spines and proboscis, invent sounds and write speech bubbles. Who knows, maybe you will come up with the unknown animals’ very own language? A warm welcome to invent Monster Club’s until now completely unknown animals! Monster educator: Johanna Norrbin, teacher and art educator
