Nautical Chart Art Workshop

Event Description

Repurpose outdated, local, nautical charts into works of art at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia! Our workshop leader will guide you through the process of creating 3-D nautical chart art, using origami techniques, and framing your piece in a beautiful shadow box for you to easily hang at home. Choose from one of many local charts, now outdated, but which were once used by sailors around the British Columbian coast. During the workshop, listen to tales of the early explorers on the Pacific Northwest Coast and how their cartography work impacted the development of the province.
