What is Sculpture? Investigating Materials
Peter Randall Page
17 March – 7 September
The ever popular ‘What is sculpture?’ season will be drawing inspiration from the work of Peter Randall Page. Inspiration for his sculpture comes from natural growth, and the patterns and mathematical forms that occur in nature.
All ages. Using handling pieces, the session will interpret sculpture through the range of materials artists have used including glass, metalwork and wood. This workshop has a science focus which is reinforced by a sorting activity.
2 hour Education Officer led workshop
£80 per session (max group size 35)
Looking at Portraits
Take 2 Pictures
All Ages
Using historic and contemporary portraits we talk about what makes a portrait and how artists reveal more about the person. Dressing up, trying out poses, discussion and drawing complete this workshop.
2 hour Education officer led workshop

Before You Visit – My Culture Quest & My Learning
KS2 & 3 Free
My Culture Quest is an exciting game which encourages pupils to travel the world in search of objects for their own temporary exhibition. You have to choose wisely though, every choice affects the number of visitors to your show. With additional information for teachers and a downloadable card version the game is of great use before and after your visit. Ideal for upper KS2 & KS3 pupils, and available free through www.mylearning.org
INSET for teachers: Take 2 Pictures
Look at two works in the collections linked by an underlying theme but from very different cultures or period. Interactive discussion about the works, followed by a practical workshop. Contact us for details.
