About
We welcome you together into the Gallery to engage with our environment and space, and to discover playful opportunities from paintings.
Inside the Clore Art Studio, the session is designed to promote curiosity and holistic learning through open-ended sensory and creative possibilities.
There will be several set-ups to engage a mixed Early Years age group, supported by continuous play provision which links directly to the Gallery and our paintings.
During sessions, children must be accompanied by a parent/carer.
After the session, you are welcome to enjoy your packed lunch in the Social Space of The Roden Centre for Creative Learning.
Your artist
Abi Horn is an artist/designer for children, early years Atelierista, and sometimes lecturer. She is inspired by the pedagogy of Reggio Emilia schools, and The Fluxus art movement.
Her practice involves providing thoughtful provocations and high-quality, open-ended materials to spark intrinsic motivation and explore big ideas. She invites children to investigate through exploration of materials, creative process and critical thinking.
Abi has a degree in theatre, an MA in Inclusive Arts Practice, and a Post Graduate Certificate in Early Education. She has exhibited work at Modern Art Oxford, Somerset House, and regularly works with Young V&A Museum and Theatre Royal Brighton, amongst others.
