Sensory SEND Workshop
1hr 30min artist workshop for SEND pupils
Designed for SEND pupils this workshop offers a relaxed, supportive environment for pupils to explore art and sculpture though sensory activities in our galleries and learning studios.
Inspired by artist Barbara Hepworth pupils will explore shape, colour and texture through a range of open-ended drawing and making activities focussing on creative processes and sensory experiences.
Lead by an experienced artist, the workshop is designed to be flexible and responsive to your pupils’ interests and needs.
