Recycled Art! 27 February

Water works! 27 March



Water works! Exploring the work of RHA Member Gary Coyle, children will have the opportunity to design and create their own seascapes and imaginary 3D sea creatures. In order to create sculptural masterpieces, children will have the opportunity to work with materials such as wire, plaster & card.


Art & Abstraction! 17 April



Art & Abstraction! For those budding young artists this workshop will act as an introduction to the techniques and concepts of abstract art. Children will create their own kaleidoscopes and view the world in colour, dots and shapes before developing their own abstract geometric creations.


Become a photographer for the day! 29 May



Become a photographer for the day! This workshop will introduce children into the methods and process behind taking photographs. Children will have the chance to learn the art of photography by making a pinhole camera box and developing their own pictures!


Become a painter! 26 June



Become a painter! Taking inspiration from the magnificent array of artworks held at the RHA's 180th Annual Exhibition, children will create their own artist sketchbook. Using their sketches, children will develop their drawings into finished artworks and create their own painted canvas.
