Join artist Laura X Carlé to sculpt your hands from clay. Express who you are through the hand gestures you choose for your sculpture. At the end of the session you’ll be free to take your creation home with you.
There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds.
What’s included with my ticket?
Led by a professional artist with all materials provided, all you have to do is bring yourselves! We advise dressing for a mess as this workshop will involve the use of clay. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
