Workshops for Art & Design and D&T Secondary Students
Led by professional artists and designers, our Art, Craft and Design workshops explore the Museum's vast collections through cutting edge contemporary practice.
'The students learned to take risks and be creative, to recognise form and function in design and to think abut how design meets users' needs.'
