Family Workshop: Paint, Pots and Emojis

For ages 5+
1 November 2024

Join us for a paint-a-pot workshop with a twist, for children aged 5+ and their parent or guardian.

In this session, children will take inspiration from our current art exhibition by Ian Kirkpatrick to paint their own emoji moneybox.

First, they will explore Ian Kirkpatrick’s colourful artworks in the Harley Gallery, before selecting and sketching their favourite images. Children will then combine these images into their own unique design, decorating the surface of their moneybox with our special pottery paints.

Your creations will be fired onsite in our kiln and will be ready to collect at a later date.

Please bring your own apron and dress in comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting messy!
