Artist Makers: Powerful Printed Words

Children
24 Jan 2026
1:00 - 3:00 pm, included in admission

Inspired by artist Nathan Coley’s powerful text-based installations, this hands-on printmaking workshop allows you to print a word that is meaningful to you. Artist Amy Jowett will teach you how to use traditional letterpress blocks, to print your own bold and colourful banner. Together, these individual creations will form a collective sentence, a shared artwork celebrating shared voices.  

Drop-in activity in the Create Space, recommended for ages 5+, children under 14 must be accompanied.   

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.
