Learn simple sculpting techniques in this clay modelling workshop.

Join artist Christina Rose Brown to create a fantastical clay version of yourself. Inspired by our exhibition Self-Made: Reshaping Identities, use simple sculpting techniques to build your character. At the end of the session you’ll be free to take your creations 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.
