We are delighted to be joined by Artist Hannah Kelly for this playful summer workshop exploring portait art and Surgeons Hall collections.
Join us for a playful and imaginative workshop exploring the secrets of portraiture. We'll hunt through the Surgeons Hall collection of portraits for clues about the people inside them, then create our own mixed-media self-portraits.
Suitable for children aged 8-12 years
PLEASE NOTE: This ticket provides entry to the workshop for one child who must be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
