Artist Makers

Bowes Museum

Want to get creative in the galleries? Our team of Artist Makers are just for you!

Book an Artist Maker workshop tailor made for each of the Gallery Talks or you can book as a stand-alone session for your group.
Our team of experts offer a range of workshops to help build confidence in getting messy, making, designing and creating, whilst taking inspiration from the collection. An opportunity for children to ask questions and learn how to be an artist.

We offer a range of art specialisms including print making, animation, clay work and textiles. These workshops can be delivered in the Museum or in your school.

Get in touch with the learning team who will assist you with planning a workshop to achieve learning outcomes.
