Step into a vibrant world where fabric comes to life!

These sessions are inspired by our Material Worlds exhibition, where colour, space, pattern, and texture come together in exciting ways.

In the workshop, you’ll explore the endless possibilities of textiles – experimenting with textures, patterns, and bold, beautiful colours. Bring the whole family to create, play, and be inspired!

These workshops are designed for parents or carers to stay and enjoy the creativity. Tickets only need to be booked for children attending.
