Celebrate spring at Watts Gallery this Easter holiday with a joyful, creativity-filled programme for families. Take part in hands-on workshops, or enjoy a relaxed wander through our beautiful galleries and grounds, discovering self-guided sketching and creative activities along the way.
Gelli Plate PrintingDiscover the magic of gelli plate printing, a hands-on technique that transforms acrylic paint, decorative stamps, and image transfers into layered works of art. Each pull of the plate reveals a new unique print so no two artworks are ever the same!
Animate Your Imagination!Bring the Watts Gallery collection to life in this fun, hands-on animation workshop. Use simple animation techniques to add movement, character, and storytelling to artworks.Each child will need an accompanying adult with a smartphone (we also have a limited number of iPads available). To finish, we’ll dim the lights and enjoy a mini cinema screening of everyone’s fantastic creations!
Modroc Medusas G. F. Watts created a sculpture of Medusa to tell the story of the Greek goddess whose gaze could turn people to stone. In this Modroc workshop, we will create our own sculptural busts inspired by Medusa and other mythical beings.
