Make and Create Drop-in

Duration: 11:00 - 18:00
Dates: Fri 28 - Sun 30 Mar 2025
Location: Gallery 1

Free, drop-in

Drop-in to Gallery 1 and create your own artwork to add to the wall or take home as part of Spring Holiday Pop-up.

We will have stencils, stamps, collage, activity sheets and lots of art materials and ideas to inspire you, with something for all ages, including a special play area for wee ones.

As well as artwork created during Spring Holiday Pop-up, the walls of Gallery 1 will also feature work created by community groups during projects with our Learning team.

Something for everyone from babies to adults. A welcoming creative space. Children were delighted to see their own artwork valued.
