Secondary & College
Our workshops allow schools groups to critically engage with concepts of home by exploring issue-based themes, with links to the National Curriculum. Students will get to know the museum through discussion and sketching, followed by an art workshop inviting material experimentation and exploration of new knowledge and ideas.
Our school sessions can be tailored to suit SEND groups. All school workshops are for a maximum of 30 students.
If you have any questions regarding school visits please email the Schools Team schools@museumofthehome.org.uk.
Facilitated Creative Workshops
Patterns, Migration and Identity
What can patterns tell us about who we are? Students will connect domestic patterns around the Museum with personal stories, particularly focusing on migration. A collagraph or lino printing workshop will allow students to create a pattern exploring their own identity.
KS3 – KS5
Gender, Equality & Activism
Groups will learn about activism and the power of artistic voice, exploring stories of equality in the home with a focus on women and gender, including the See Red Women’s Workshop. Students will harness collage techniques to create a poster advocating for positive change, sharing messages of kindness and care.
KS3 – KS5
Object Lifecycles & Sustainability
How can exploring the past, present and future of objects help us think more sustainably about our homes? Students will analyse the continuing lifecycle of domestic objects, before experimenting with clay to tell stories of their personal connections to objects in their own homes.
