Explore the intersection of sculpture history and global cultures in this free workshop, suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Delve into themes such as power, identity, and the representation of royalty, as presented in our current exhibition Sculpting Royalty: Hew Locke and Mary Thornycroft.
You’ll have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of creative techniques, including clay modelling, paper sculpture, and mixed media collage, while drawing upon the narratives of both Hew Locke and Mary Thornycroft’s works.
