Joint art workshop for children from 1,5 to 2,5 years of age and their parents led by Hana and Tomáš Volkmer.

Two puppets, Miss Dot and Mr Point, will guide the children through an active encounter with fine arts. A huge painting surface, all sorts of brushes and rollers, colourful tapes, big stamps and stencils, and non-toxic paints will be ready and waiting for the participants. We can paint with our hands and feet, too.
