Early Years Studio is a fun, creative, immersive experience for children aged 0-4. The sessions are designed with early years development in mind. Artists draw upon their expertise as early years facilitators and use the Kettle’s Yard ethos and collection to create sessions where babies, toddlers and their carers can experience and learn together.
Join us in our Clore Learning Studio for free, practical art making workshops. Respond to the displays and exhibitions to make your own artworks. Get creative with artists and our education volunteers, no previous art experience needed!
Activities are for all but most suitable for children between 3 and 11 years. We like to encourage parents/carers to create alongside their child.
If Studio Sunday is busy, you can still get creative by picking up some of our free art activities from the desk.
FREE, drop in between 1-4pm
