Nature sits alongside and within the art that populates Kettle’s Yard. Join artist Ian Brownlie and together explore natural objects in the house and how they influence and are influenced by the collection. In the studio we will make our own two dimensional and three dimensional pieces based upon organic shapes and natural forms. This workshop is for 7-11 year olds.

Create your own sculpture inspired by natural objects thoughtfully placed in the Kettle’s Yard house. Join artist Kelly Briggs in the Clore Learning Studio to explore how we can use natural objects and materials to make our own sculptures which can support the biodiversity of the local environment.

The recycling bin is a treasure trove for printmakers. In this workshop we will look at those weird textured cardboards, tetrapak containers and wrappings, and see potential art materials.

Join artist Jacqui Campbell at Kettle’s Yard and discover how to select and ink up materials, make playful compositions and roll these through the printing press to reveal unique prints.

We’ll be using washable water-based ink but printing can be a messy process so make sure you’re wearing your old clothes.

Sport and art collide in our free, family-friendly outdoor sensory play experience designed by artists Play Build Play.

Inspired by 'Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body' exhibition artists Play Build Play have designed a sensory athletics field of play for families to take-part in. Each week, the Play Pavilion will also be joined by sports providers providing even more opportunities for play.
