The Foundling Museum tells the story of the UK’s first children’s charity and its first public art gallery – the outcome of a centuries-old project designed to care for and educate London’s most vulnerable children. The Foundling Museum’s mission is to inspire change through the power of the arts. We are the only museum to celebrate care-experienced people, and all those who care for them. Visit us to uncover the incredible story of Thomas Coram’s Hospital for foundlings, see work by outstanding contemporary artists, and explore our ever-changing programmes of exhibitions, displays and events.

About Family Workshop: Clay Architects

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.
