Free drop-in in the studio

Come and be creative in the Nationalmuseum’s studio! On Thursday evenings this autumn, you can explore some of the fundamental materials and techniques of art. Try drawing, painting, or sculpting. Free drop-in. No prior experience needed. Open to all!

With inspiration from artworks in the collections or from suggestions available in the studio, we’ll explore the possibilities and limitations of materials through various techniques. Every third week is dedicated to drawing, every third to painting, and every third to sculpture.

20 November 9: Sculpture – create reliefs in clay

Try sculpting soft stoneware clay on a flat surface. Sculpture or image—or both?

Soft greyscales or sharp contrasts? The studio is stocked with paper, pencils, and charcoal. Discover the possibilities of drawing and explore lines, surfaces, and details.

Cinnabar red, cadmium yellow, ultramarine blue… enjoy your favourite colours, mix new shades, and unleash your creativity with brushstrokes and paint!
