Artist Makers: Playful Paper Pets

Celebrate Josephine Bowes’ love of animals with a playful pet-themed workshop led by Claire Bentley, inspired by paintings and objects from the collection. Coinciding with the opening Pippa Hale: Pet Project, you’re invited to create your own squishy cat and/or dog paper sculpture using colourful patterns and textures found in the museum. 

Once your sculpture is complete, take part in our friendly vote. Will cats or dogs win?  The choice is yours! 

Drop-in activity in the Create Space. Recommended for ages 8+, children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Please contact Alia Cruz, Learning Manager at learn@thebowesmusuem.org.uk if you have access requirements, so the session can be adapted to suit your needs.
