In this imaginative session students will go on a tour of the galleries to discover the narratives nestled in the art, inspiring their own story making as a group. They will then participate in a workshop that brings their story to life through puppet-making.

Portraiture is an excellent exercise in personal development for children. We will take students on a tour of the portraits in the galleries before giving them the opportunity to produce their own clay head to take away based on their own self-portrait drawings.
