Drop-in workshop

Sensory Drawing

10:30–15:00

The Studio

Henry Moore Institute, Leeds

About this event

Drop in to explore multi-sensory mark making with artists Bryony Pritchard and Nichola Pemberton.

Taking inspiration from our current exhibition Beyond the Visual, which invites us to explore art with senses other than sight, we’ll turn our Studio into a giant canvas to cover in experimental drawings.

We’ll use balloons, sand, play dough, hoops and sticks to find playful ways to draw, creating tactile shapes and patterns.

No booking required, drop in anytime. Suitable for children of all ages, including SEND children.

Accessibility

The workshop will take place in the Studio, our new workshop space on the second floor of the building.

We want to make it as easy as possible for all to attend, so please get in touch if you have any access needs that you would like to discuss before the workshop.
