Cups and Crowns

This workshop will begin looking at some of the Gallery’s collection of teacups and saucers.  After getting ideas for decoration children will move to the gallery art space to design and make their own paper teacups and saucers.  Once their cups are complete, children will create a matching Royal crown using metallic paper, pens, sequins, and other crafty bling.  

Inspired by the exhibition Tudors to Windsors, kids are invited to create their own earrings or bracelet, fit for a queen! Under expert guidance, they’ll experiment with a wonderful array of glass, ceramic, wooden and semi-precious beads, and be encouraged to try adding extra embellishments including tassels and found materials (all provided).

Guest educator Alice Adams has been creating jewellery for almost 20 years, exploring unique colour combinations and forms. Suitable for children aged 10-16 years
