Imaginary Beings: sensory sculpture workshop for families

Engage your senses as you work with recycled paper to make non-toxic paper-clay. Feel the textures, mould shapes, and create your very own imaginary beings, based on Henry Moore Institute's current display John Hoyland: Imaginary Beings.

This workshop will provide a safe, fun, and creatively stimulating environment for families to explore the world of sculpture-making using recycled materials, inspired by the vibrant abstract art of John Hoyland.
