Guerrilla Art Clubs
Be inspired by objects in our collection to create your own immense (often messy) master piece.
Workshops begin at 10am and end at 2.00pm with half an hour for lunch, (please bring along a packed lunch).
Ideal for groups of friends for that special day out but remember to wear old clothes as it could get messy!
Each session comprises of a mini interactive seminar and themed art workshops.
