About
Create your own Roman figures using art straws in this workshop led by artist Simon Terry.
Discover the lives of Roman citizens through the museum's exhibits, or imagine your own characters to make unique figures.
Who will you create? Perhaps a brave Roman soldier, a skilled builder, or a wise senator. Think about their jobs, where they live, and what adventures they might have.
Why not use your newly created figures to make up stories and bring the ancient world to life?
