School holidays are around the corner and Museum Saturday at the Rupert Museum on 26 September has fun-filled activities for the entire family.
Youngsters can look forward to Kids Creative Corners, where children aged 3-13 are invited to explore the museum’s exhibitions through engaging, hands-on activities that will proudly share in the Heritage Month celebrations. Complete the activities and stand a chance to win an art-inspired hamper, perfect for creative fun at home. Families or groups of friends looking to spend some quality time creating together are welcome to join these activities. Any time between 10am and 4pm. No booking required
The adults can slow down, observe and respond to the human form in this immersive life drawing workshop with multidisciplinary artist and educator Jo Shepherd. Working from a live life model, participants will be guided through a series of drawing exercises, from quick observational sketches to longer poses as the model shifts and changes position. Along the way, they will explore the expressive possibilities of graphite, charcoal and felt-tip pens, while developing an understanding of line, composition, proportion, gesture and mark-making. Step away from the pressure of creating a “perfect” drawing and explore seeing, responding and expressing through the act of drawing. R180 pp. Book here
In the library, discover the story of Honeybush through the taste of the Cape fynbos. Explore distinctive Honeybush species from coastal fynbos slopes to mountain landscapes, each revealing its own character — from delicate fynbos-floral aromas to naturally fruity-sweet notes. Three premium organic Honeybush teas will each be paired with a sweet treat, creating a tasting journey through the remarkable diversity of this uniquely South African tea. R50pp. Book here
Finally, what would Museum Saturday be without #GallerySessions? Sit back in the Café, enjoy the special pop-up menu for the day, and let Lukin Joshua’s soulful sounds provide a soundtrack to your Saturday. Lukin Joshua is a Johannesburg-born, Cape Town-based indie folk-pop singer-songwriter, loop artist, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer.
