Relax with a glass of wine and enjoy making personalised ceramic tiles and unique tokens under the guidance of artist Martha Todd.
Inspired by the intricate designs found in the Museum’s token collection and our exhibition Self-Made: Reshaping Identities, you will learn techniques to create handmade ceramic pieces and have the opportunity to engrave designs personal to you. This intimate workshop will begin with an after-hours tour of the Museum’s 18th-century tokens collection and their touching history.
