Thursday 28th May
11am – 12:30pm – £16 per ticket

Join local artist Jess Swift in this fun, hands-on workshop where children will create their own air-dry clay portraits inspired by the exhibition “Where are you from originally?”

Using clay, children will design and build their own portrait plaques, adding features, symbols, patterns, and textures that represent who they are. This might include:

• Favourite activities or hobbies
• Cultural patterns or family traditions
• Words, shapes, or objects that feel important to them

We will begin the workshop by having a look around the exhibition, getting inspiration from some of the works. We will then create our own portrait which can be then taken home and decorated at home once dry.

Please come in clothes you don’t mind getting messy!

*Please note – the air dry clay we will be using has nylon fibres inside*
