About
A 90 minute art class for 7 - 12 year olds (accompanied) led by artist Steph.
You'll learn artistic techniques and make watercolour kinetic butterflies, inspired by artworks on display.
Children will work with their adult to create a shared piece to take home.
Accompanying adults are encouraged to join in - the class is a great opportunity for families to enjoy creative time together. Please note, younger siblings including babies cannot be admitted.
Our artist has extensive experience of working with young people including those with SEND and Neurodiversities. We understand that some young people may be older than 12 but find the class age appropriate due to SEND - please contact Hannah.Mackay-Jackson@northeastmuseums.org.uk if this applies to you.
These sessions will be designed to be welcoming and inclusive for all.
This event is part of our Ways to Play programme of free and low-cost family-friendly activities.
Make your ‘Ways to Play’ adventure a great value day out by travelling to our venues by the Metro. Up to three children aged 11 and under can travel for free on the Metro with a fare-paying adult. Metro is the convenient, fast and frequent way to get to your favourite attractions and now it’s even more affordable. Find out more about Ways to Play.
