Learning & Creativity
A range of exciting creative workshops for all ages, delivered by experienced Artist Educators.
Our learning programme is inspired by:
- our collection
- our ever-changing exhibition programme (both contemporary and historical)
- our setting within Sydney Gardens once a Georgian Pleasure Garden of great fame!
As a Museum of Art all our workshops combine exploring the museum galleries with ‘hands-on’ creative making. Our focus is on learning through curiosity and creativity!
