Silkscreen Studio
Visitors of all ages were invited to Madrasat Addeera to discover silkscreen printing – the unique artistic style that made Andy Warhol famous. These free, hands-on workshops taught how to create handmade silkscreen-printed artworks in the pop-art style.
The Silkscreen Studio was a pre-activation of the FAME: Andy Warhol in AlUla exhibition by the Andy Warhol Museum which opened in February 2023 at Maraya. The workshops were developed in collaboration with educators from The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburg, USA.
