Workshops for schools

   

 

Nature's Own Colours
Key stage 2


Join us in a series of experiments using safe natural sources to produce a range of dyes and pigments, with which we will then tie-dye a fabric square and create a miniature painting.

Textile Printing and Design
Key stage 2/3


Explore the age old techniques of block printing. See and handle artifacts from the museum archive then create with us your own design, from which you will produce a printing block to print a piece of fabric using two or more colours.
