About this event

How are colours made? What does a colour feel like? Join artist Georgina Barney to unlock secrets of colour in the Barber’s historic collection.

Families are invited to play and experiment through grinding, mixing, stirring, marking, measuring and painting. We will explore the wondrous world of colour using pre-industrial methods and natural materials.

These workshops centre around the vibrant creativity and curiosity of very young children. We aim to create an environment that is nurturing, playful and that builds relationships for young children, and for their parents/carers
