Make a moving puppet monster with artist Laura X Carlé. How many arms will your monster have? Will you make it growl or run by pulling the strings? Unleash your Halloween-fuelled creativity in this fun workshop. At the end of the session, you’ll also be able to take your puppet home so you can scare your family and friends!
There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds.
Operated by one of our brilliant Artist Assistants, our art trolley will also be available all day offering free creative activities for children inspired by the story of the Foundling Hospital.
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 glue. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
