Weekend Make: Paper Sculpture

We will be taking inspiration from Ronald Pope’s crowd sculptures.

In our weekend make for children, we explore different arts and crafts processes inspired by our collections with the support of a short video and activity sheet. See what you can make.

This week, we’ll be meeting Nicholas to learn how to make a paper sculpture inspired by the crowd scenes in the work of Derbyshire sculptor Ronald Pope.

Scroll down to see the materials you will need. You can also download the activity sheet to accompany the film here.

Suitable for children aged 7+ 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.
