SUMMARY:Treasured Objects\, Powerful Stories

It can be as valuable or mundane as you wish\, so long as it tells a story. (Try not to risk bringing anything too valuable\, though!) \nHear what goes into telling stories with objects and what social history means from our Engagement and Learning Officer. \nYou’ll be invited to share the stories of your own object before getting a chance to preserve those memories in artwork. You might be inspired to make a painting of your object\, or a collage of the event it came from. Whatever you want to make\, we’ll find a way to make it happen! \nThis event is suitable for children aged 7+ with accompanying adults.
