Get in the mood for Halloween by making a spooky animation, led by artist Reza Ben Gajra. Create your own scary shadow puppet then use lightboxes to tell a haunted animated story. At the end of the workshop, come together to watch the animations and celebrate your creativity. You’ll also get to take your shadow puppet home to show it off to family and friends, and maybe spook them on Halloween!

There are two sessions running from 11am-1pm and 2-4pm. The workshop is suitable for 5-12 year-olds.

What’s included with my ticket?

Led by a professional artist with all materials provided, all you have to do is bring yourselves! We advise dressing for a mess as this workshop will involve the use of glue. Tickets also include free entry to the Museum so you can explore at your leisure.
