What to expect

Through taking photographs, using graphic tablets to illustrate and collecting found imagery to collage, participants will be filling the walls of a museum that so far only exists in their imagination. Whether they’re a fan of football or can’t get enough of cats, they will be encouraged to bring their passions to inhabit golden frames and stand proudly on plinths for the world to see using digital tools.

This workshop is suitable for children aged 8 – 11 who are at a beginner level.
