About
Welcome to the Gallery! Come and explore the environment together and take a closer look. Discover playful opportunities, inspired by 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 collection.
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 in the Roden Centre for Creative Learning.
