Get creative together this summer with free family workshops at Manchester Art Gallery.

Inspired by the exhibition Worn: The Life Within Clothes, artists Simone Frater-Russell and Kasha Dressler will lead hands-on textile and printmaking activities for children and their grown-ups. It’s a relaxed chance to make, experiment and take inspiration from the artworks on display.

Free to take part, and you can just drop in. Sessions run from 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm on 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 July.
