We invite families with children who have additional sensory needs to join us for our Studio Sunday Relaxed Session. These quieter art making workshops aim to provide a comfortable creative experience at Kettle’s Yard.
In our Clore Learning Studio, participants can make art inspired by artworks and ideas at Kettle’s Yard, supported by artists and volunteers. No prior art experience is required.
Activities are designed for children ages 3–11 and we encourage parents and carers to create alongside their child.

We encourage parents and caregivers to create alongside their children during the workshop. If the studio is busy you may be asked to come back later, but you can pick up our free take-home art activities at the desk to keep the creativity flowing.
