Gifts for the Journey

Throughout time, people of all cultures have sent their loved ones off with gifts and supplies for the next stage in life’s journey. Sarah Talks, Education and Outreach Assistant, will invite us to explore Saxon and Roman objects used as funerary gifts and share stories about them. Artist, Sally Todd, will invite us to consider what gifts we might like to give or take with us ‘on the journey’ and provide clay and other textural materials to help in the making of these.

This session is the first of a refreshed creative programme for blind and partially sighted adults to take place across the different University of Cambridge Museums and Botanic Garden. Please be aware that in order to help share this programme more widely, we are aiming to film some of the activity in the session.

Water bowls will be at the ready for assistance dogs.

Spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come basis. To find out more and to book your place on to the session, please email: info@museums.cam.ac.uk
