Embrace your romantic side in this Valentine’s Day pillow painting workshop to mark the opening of Dreaming from afar. In this drop-in workshop you’ll hand-paint a pillowcase inspired by Tyrone Te Waa’s paintings of his dreams on fitted bed sheets that reference the mattress rooms often found in the wharenui. Adorn a pillow for the romantic and platonic loves in your life or make one for yourself as the ultimate act of self-care.
