Exploring Ancient Egypt- Disability Friendly Children’s Art Workshops
This is a disability and neurodiversity friendly children’s art workshop. The session runs over 2 hours, you can stay as long or as little as you want, and turn up at any time within this 2 hour window.
Tile making and sculpture was something the Ancient Egyptians were familiar with – and now is your chance to follow in their footsteps.
With the help of Lyn Grant from Fangfoss Pottery, children will have the chance to create their own ceramic tile based on the ancient Egypt exhibitions at the Ferens Art Gallery.
The tile will be fired and finished in the pottery and returned to the Ferens where it can be collected in about a month. We will let you know when your tile is available for collection.
Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please only book a ticket for each child attending the session. Accompanying adults DO NOT need to book a ticket.
