A creative family workshop inspired by the Dacorum Heritage Trust collections
Join mixed media artist Paula Watkins for a hands-on family workshop and design a handmade concertina artist book that opens up to reveal an imagined street from the past.
Taking inspiration from objects in the Dacorum Heritage Trust collections, families will look closely at buildings, trades, artefacts, colours and stories from local history, then use these ideas to create their own folded street scene.
This relaxed and imaginative session is suitable for families and young people who enjoy making, drawing and discovering the past together. No previous art experience is needed — just bring your curiosity and creativity.
Perfect for: families, children and young people interested in art, making and local history.
What you’ll make: a handmade concertina artist book featuring a street inspired by imagination and heritage collections.
When: Saturday 19th September, 10.30am-3.30pm
Where: Hemel Hempstead Library, The Forum, Hemel Hempstead, HP1 1DN
Minimum age: 7 years old
