About

Our friendly tutor, Steph will guide you in making an 'explosion book'. These small, square books 'explode' into a series of square and triangular pages when you open them. You'll make your book from card and paper, with colourful abstract patterns drawn on each page.

Please note, this session is not focused on creative writing - but is about exploring book art. You'll make one 'explosion book' to take home.

Accompanying adults are encouraged to join in - the class is a great opportunity for families to enjoy creative time together. 

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.
