Activities
You might get messy in these sessions, so please do dress accordingly.
Flint Hunt & Sculpt
Join us to hunt for flint around the gardens; you will be given clues on where to look!
Bring your collection back to the activity table to make into mini sculptures, with the additional help of plasticine… you might just leave with your very own little Reclining Figure or Family Group!
Pulp & Sculpt
This sculpting session provides a gluey paper pulp as a material to sculpt with. You can use the paper pulp to make your own piece to take away, inspired by Moore and your time around the Studios & Gardens.
Flint, Pulp & Sculpt
Combining two previous making activities, we’ll create sculptures by combining a mixture of gluey paper pulp with flint stones, resulting in a mixed-media piece you can take home.
Dress Up Like a Sculpture
Ever wondered what the sculptures in our grounds are thinking and feeling? These sessions might just help you find out!
Use the costumes and materials available to transform yourself into a sculpture for the day, and maybe take yourself for a walk around the grounds to see where you would be best placed.
Family Trees
Collect twigs and sticks from around the grounds to use to create the base of a sculpture. We’ll then use clay to build upon this structure.
