Calling all families with children aged 5-10!
Come and join us at the Museum of Cambridge for an exciting art workshop this August!
As part of the Remembering Covid-19: Time Capsule Project, we will help you to construct your own mini world of memories by crafting a time-capsule room from your home in a shoe-box! We can’t wait to see and hear about the best things your family did together during lockdown and make a record you can look back on in years to come.
Help us to keep everyone safe by taking a lateral flow test before arriving at the event, and not attending if you feel unwell. In order to run a safe event and not disappoint anyone once spaces are full, booking is essential and you can reserve your free places here using Eventbrite, or should you prefer, do feel free to email us directly: sarah.hutton@museumofcambridge.org.uk.
Workshops are running on multiple dates across August.
Please note that photographs will be taken throughout the session, and images taken will be used to promote further Museum events, as well as in funding reports. If you do not wish you or your family’s photograph to be taken, please make sure to let us know ahead of time.
