This June, we are delighted to welcome the Oshawa Garden Club to our Backyard at the RMG for a special family-friendly experience! Young gardeners and grown-ups alike can discover how local blooms grow, the gardens that are around Oshawa, what makes them flourish, and how we can help our own gardens blossom and thrive.
Flowers have sprung all over Downtown Oshawa! Let’s celebrate our beautiful botanical gardens and our very own Backyard at the RMG with artwork!
In the studio, use a variety of found-objects and materials to stamp in flower shapes. We are getting messy with ink, making our artworks stand out against a colourful collaged background.
In the lookout, admire our backyard through the giant window. Use strips of paper to curl and swirl them into coils. We will arrange them to make an intricate and sculptural paper quilled creation.
