Art Activity: Leaf Rubbings with Emily Conlon

DATE: Thursday, April 16, 2026
TIME: 5pm – 8:30pm
LOCATION: 2nd floor, Education Studio

COST: This event is part of AWE at Night

Accessibility: Accessibility and accommodation requests must be made at least two weeks in advance of the event. Please contact [email protected] for questions.

Join AWE Educator Emily Conlon in the studio to create your own leaf rubbings!

Using real leaves, you’ll experiment with oil pastels and watercolour to create leaf rubbings while exploring texture, pattern, and colour. Layer shapes and colours, and watch the magic happen as oil pastels push the watercolours away, creating a resist effect where natural details shine through.

No art experience required 😉
