Make a Musical Instrument

Meet + Make with Phil Neal
24 March 2024

Make some noise with sculptor Phil Neal in this creative activity designed for 5-11 year olds.

Join us to hammer, nail and screw together your own musical bell tree from recycled materials.

Phil will guide children through the process of constructing their masterpiece, encouraging them to think creatively about their design. At the end of the session, Phil will bring to life his organophone – currently on display in our exhibition Work Life: Life’s Work.

All materials and equipment will be provided. Each ticket is for one child and an accompanying adult.

Please note, this is a hands-on activity using real tools. Children will need help from their accompanying adult throughout.

This workshop is part of Meet + Make, a series of public engagement events running alongside our contemporary exhibition Work Life: Life’s Work.
