Make… Patterns

In our Make sessions for children, we explore different making processes inspired by our collections with the support of a short video. This time we will be experimenting with mark making to recreate some of the patterns found in our World Collection gallery.

Scroll down to see the materials you will need. There is no activity sheet to accompany this make.

Suitable for children aged 5+ with their grown-ups.

This online session is free of charge, however, if you are able to consider making a donation, this will help us to continue to conserve our heritage and re-open our doors for future generations. All of your generous donations will be matched pound for pound by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Donate here.
