The Wonder Workshop

Have you ever wondered about the museum’s collection? How the swan moves? Why Joséphine and John Bowes collected the objects that they did? What grows in the parkland? What different symbols mean in paintings?

Unlock your imagination and join us for this creative workshop that blends the logic of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) with the magic of art. Discover hidden stories in real museum objects, experiment with creative techniques, and have a chance to discover, design and create.

Taking place in the Create Space. Suitable for ages 10 – 16. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
