Museum of Home - Feb Half-Term Family Day

What happens at the kitchen table? What do you talk about, cook, eat, play with, make? Who do you spend time with?

This February half-term Families will be encouraged to chat while they create in a relaxed, collaborative environment. Activities will invite open-ended playful making informed by conversations between children, their families, carers and friends.

Families are also invited to help storyteller Tony Tang prepare the table for Chinese New Year as he performs an original musical tale.

Our sessions are designed to be safe and welcoming spaces. Workshops are suitable for families of all ages – babies, children and adults can all enjoy squishing, squeezing, moulding and building with clay, and the playful process of making your own placemat.

Collective Clay Building with Nam Tran

Roll, squash, squeeze and shape with clay as you contribute to a giant collaborative sculpture.

Textile Placemat Making with Kim Chin

Create unique placemats that reflect your mealtime conversations by drawing, cutting and sticking onto scrap fabric.

Musical Storytelling with Tony Tang

Join in with an interactive musical performance exploring cultural traditions celebrated around the table.

Performances start at 11.30am and 2pm and last around 20-25 minutes.
