About the workshop

Inspired by the tiles of the Arab Hall, children will work with ceramicist Nibras Al-Salman to create a shared artwork filled with flowers, plants and creatures, as well as their own art piece to take home. Adults will gain an introduction to ceramics, particularly the Damascus and Iznik tiles in the museum, while children engage with playful clay-making. 

This fun-filled, creative workshop will also encourage adults to unleash their own creativity whilst helping their child to explore a world of imagination, boosting health and wellbeing in a relaxing environment.
