Join us for a fun, hands on workshop with artist Amelia Frances Wood. We’ll use clay to create abstract sculptures inspired by our current exhibition, Fragment and Form.

We’ll begin with a tour of the exhibition to get some inspiration, then head to our new Studio to learn clay modelling techniques. Guiding us will be local artist and ceramics technician Amelia, who will help you to create your own clay sculptures.

This workshop is designed for families with children aged 6+. We encourage creativity in all ages, so adults are encouraged to make too!

Tickets & booking

These workshop sessions are now fully booked. If places become available, they will be given first to those on the Eventbrite waitlist.
