Meet & Make Online

Join Baltic artist Natalie Frost, for a zingy, citrusy printing activity in this Meet & Make Online video. 

With fresh-smells, taste-safe food colourings and fine-motor development, this nine-minute make is perfect for reverse a lethargic start to the week. 

You will need: citrus fruits like oranges, lemons or limes, paper and food colouring or paint. 

Natalie has been inspired by smelly exhibitions from Baltic’s past. Check out Heather Phillipson’s manure-scented cosmic wasteland from 2018 or sweetly-scented floral and fruit installation by Fabrice Hyber in 2013.
