Foundling Museum

Experiment with clay and become an architect for the day in this family workshop. Join us to design a new Foundling Hospital building for children full of excitement and play, and craft it out of clay. What shape will it be? Can you create fun designs for the windows, doors and roof? There are no rules here! At the end of the session you’ll get to take your creation home with you. This workshop is delivered by trainees from Tracing Our Tales, our award-winning training programme for care-experienced young people. There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds, and booking is essential. What’s included with my ticket? All materials are provided, all you have to do is bring yourselves! We advise dressing for a mess as this workshop will involve the use of clay. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
