A variety of fun craft sessions are on offer at local museums this half term for children and families to create their own statues, Valentine’s Day gifts and colourful artworks.
The Roman Baths will be running free “Style a Statue” sessions from Monday 13 to Friday 17 February, from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm, to create a card statue inspired by one of those on display. Admission to the Roman Baths is free to Discovery Card holders.
The free “Be My Valentine” drop-in events at the Fashion Museum on Tuesday 14 February, from 10.30am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 3.30pm, offer the chance to make individual hearts and flowers to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Entry to the Museum is free for Discovery Card holders and National Trust members.
Visitors to the Victoria Art Gallery can get their creative juices flowing with “Big, Bright and Bold” – hosted by the Young @ Art Club on Thursday 16 February – which encourages children aged 3-7 to enjoy the Gallery’s special paintings and create their own artworks full of colour.
This is followed on Friday 17 February by “Dazzle” where children aged 6-11 can be inspired by the Victoria Art Gallery’s display of exciting and colourful paintings by Gillian Ayres and create unique art with bold colours.
Both Victoria Art Gallery workshops cost £3.75 per child and run from 10.30am to 12noon and 1.30pm to 3pm on their respective days. All children must be accompanied by an adult and places must be booked in advance on 01225 477244.
