Join the Alfred East Gallery and Manor House Museum for another hands-on, engaging art workshop.

Designed to increase children’s awareness and understanding of the damage plastic waste and our actions are having on our oceans, and inspire creative thinking to re-use and re-purpose materials.

The session encourages experimenting with simple sculpture techniques by folding, building, crumpling and gluing materials to make a three-dimensional coral sculpture.

Children will look at the natural forms of coral reefs and choose elements to represent in their artworks, using recycled materials and paints. A range of natural forms from the handling collection, such as shells, coral, and fossils in ‘feely mystery bags’ are included for children to discover and copy.
