AV - Guided by Chance Dreaming Lighthouses Poster V3

About

The Chance Brothers' lighthouse lenses, made in Smethwick, once lit up coastlines all around the world.

In this FREE creative workshop, we'll dive into Sandwell Archives' collection, drawing and painting re-imagined lighthouses — then dreaming up the ships, sailors, people, and mysterious sea creatures they helped guide safely to shore!

Facilitated by Sandwell-based artist Abigail Villarroel (IG @abigailvillarroel.art)

Open to all, no experience needed with plenty of materials provided. Book on the QR code or show up on the day.
