A workshop which encourages pupils to respond to the museum and gallery objects which inspire them.

During the workshop pupils will create a sketchbook page of ideas, details and words before writing a guided poem. An excellent way to stimulate interest in topics, explore enquiry led learning & give you material to use as starting points back in school.

We can suggest themes or let us know your topic!
