Inspired by our ceramics exhibition Self-Made: Reshaping Identities and our paintings by William Hogarth, join artist Himani J Weir to design a clay plate. Decorate your plate with colourful characters to build a picture that tells a story, then take it home to enjoy.
There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds, and booking is essential.
