FREE Studio Sunday Relax Session Studio Sunday Relax Session Studio Sunday Relax Session

One ticket will cover one family.

Join us in the Clore Learning Studio for free, practical art making workshops. Activities will respond to the exhibitions or house and help create your own artworks together. Get creative with artists and our Learning team. No previous art experience necessary!

Relaxed sessions are a quieter, calmer session and planned to welcome families who may find our busy, drop-in session overwhelming. In Relaxed Sessions we typically will:

– Lower the lighting level

– Have fewer participants in the space

– Not play background music

– Ensure our blinds are closed to minimise distractions from our window

– Have a break out space and sensory tools available for participants who need this.

The recycling bin is a treasure trove for printmakers. In this workshop we will look at those weird textured cardboards, tetrapak containers and wrappings, and see potential art materials.

Join artist Jacqui Campbell at Kettle’s Yard and discover how to select and ink up materials, make playful compositions and roll these through the printing press to reveal unique prints.

We’ll be using washable water-based ink but printing can be a messy process so make sure you’re wearing your old clothes.

This workshop is for children aged 7-11 years.
