SUMMARY:Creative Explorers - May Half Term
DESCRIPTION:An artist led holiday club for 4-11 year olds who love to make\, share and play. We will collaborate on engaging individual and group craft projects with a focus on nature\, the world around us and free play to encourage creativity\, language and expression within the arts.\nThis informal holiday workshop will be fun and light\, providing your child with the chance to express themselves artistically while making new friends and learning new skills.\nWe will take a tour of the galleries\, explore the works on display and (weather dependent) we will take a nature walk outside\, so please supply a coat if you are happy for your child to join. \nPlease note:\n• On sunny days we like to get outside! If you are not happy for your child to leave the building then please let us know on the morning of the session.\n• Children aged 4 are only permitted to attend on a shorter day of 11-3 according to government safeguarding guidelines. If you book a 4-year-old on to any of our holiday club days you will not be allowed to drop them off before 11am.\n• We may get messy! Please send your child in old clothes that you don’t mind them making and playing in\, as we do occasionally use materials that may be harder to wash out.\n• Please pack your child a drinks bottle\, so that they can help themselves through the day. Feel free to pack them a snack as well – exploring can be hungry work!\n• Children should bring a bag to help them carry home all their crafts and keep them safe through the day.\nAll children will now need a packed lunch\, there is no longer the option to add it to your ticket booking. Please note nuts are not permitted in packed lunches due to allergies.\n‘Arty’ lunch boxes will be available to purchase from the café on the day. \nPlease note this is a drop-off session.\nThe cost includes all materials. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:Home Educators Workshop: Cyanotypes and Antarctic Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Home Educators Workshop: Cyanotypes and Antarctic Discoveries \nDiscover the beauty of botanical exploration at the Wilson Art Gallery & Museum in this hands-on cyanotype workshop for home-educating families! \nWe will take inspiration from the museum’s herbarium collection (a herbarium is a scientific collection of preserved plant specimens that are dried\, pressed\, and mounted on paper\, or preserved in other ways) and the Antarctic plant documentation made during Edward Wilson’s expeditions. Participants will then learn the fascinating history of cyanotype printing and this early photographic process. \nUsing natural forms pressed ourselves and inspired by the herbariums\, everyone will create their own striking blue-and-white cyanotype prints to take home.\nA creative blend of art\, nature\, and scientific curiosity for young explorers! \nAccompanying adults do not require a ticket but please note this is not a drop off session and adults are encouraged to join in activities with their children. \n10.30am to 12.30pm (4 to 9 year olds) \n1.30pm to 3.30pm (9 to 14 year olds) \n*You will notice an overlap in ages for the two sessions. As you know your child\, please choose which session you think would be best for them.* \nBook Now
