Have a crafty time in the half term holidays
A variety of fun craft sessions are
on offer at Bath & North East Somerset Council’s museums this
half term for children and families to create their own statues,
Valentine’s Day gifts and colourful artworks.
The Roman Baths will be running free
“Style a Statue” sessions from Monday 13 to Friday 17 February,
from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm, to create a card statue inspired
by one of those on display. Admission to the Roman Baths is free to
Discovery Card holders.
The free “Be My Valentine” drop-in
events at the Fashion Museum on Tuesday 14 February, from 10.30am
to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 3.30pm, offer the chance to make
individual hearts and flowers to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Entry
to the Museum is free for Discovery Card holders and National Trust
members.
Visitors to the Victoria Art Gallery
can get their creative juices flowing with “Big, Bright and Bold” –
hosted by the Young @ Art Club on Thursday 16 February – which
encourages children aged 3-7 to enjoy the Gallery’s special
paintings and create their own artworks full of colour.
This is followed on Friday 17 February by
“Dazzle” where children aged 6-11 can be inspired by the Victoria
Art Gallery’s display of exciting and colourful paintings by
Gillian Ayres and create unique art with bold colours.
Both Victoria Art Gallery workshops
cost £3.75 per child and run from 10.30am to 12noon and 1.30pm to
3pm on their respective days. All children must be accompanied by
an adult and places must be booked in advance on 01225 477244.
