Buy Tickets >Join us for this FREE teacher CPD session combining a curator-led tour of our current Pop and the Figure exhibition with a practical printmaking workshop .
Gain fresh perspectives on the artists and ideas within Pop and the Figure and consider how looking at modern and contemporary art can inspire your own teaching practice. The tour will be followed by a practical Tetrapak printmaking workshop, led by an experienced artist educator specialising in this cost effective, accessible and versatile technique.
Designed for teachers of KS2-5, this workshop will introduce simple, engaging printmaking techniques that require minimal equipment and can be easily adapted for use in the classroom. It’s an opportunity to experiment, develop your own creative practice and discover new ways to encourage creativity, confidence and hands-on learning with your students.
No previous printmaking experience is required. Come along to this relaxing and enjoyable session, share ideas with fellow teachers and leave with the confidence and skills to use this technique in your classroom.
2 hours | Suitable for teachers of KS2-5 | Free tea, coffee and snacks
