A full afternoon's programme of free demonstrations and workshops based on the
Ulster Museum's many varied collections and exhibitions, designed to get all
ages drawing. Visitors discovered the tools and materials which Leonardo da
Vinci used to create some of the world's most famous drawings (on loan from The
Queen's Collection) with paper conservator, Alison Muir. They were then
encouraged to experiment with pen and ink, red chalks and metalpoint on
specially prepared paper. Deirdre Crone showed how an archaeological
illustrator works, while budding natural historians tried their hand at
botanical illustration with Diana Oxlade. All afternoon families made 'quick'
monoprints in the Aspects of Asia gallery or 'quick gold' prints in the Gold
exhibition.
