Saturday, head to Contemporary Applied Arts for Make It: Magical, before it ends next week.
The free workshops for kids age 6-12 are based on the gallery’s Christmas exhibition, ‘Mystery, Magic and Merriment’. You’ll have a variety of materials available to make a special gift, keepsake or seasonal decoration or create beautiful cards, with technical guidance from gallery staff.
Saturday’s workshop is from 10.30 – 12.30pm. For this one I’m told you MUST book ahead. To do so call 020 7436 2344 or email clare@caa.org.uk or harriet@caa.org.uk.
On Sunday, head to the National Portrait Gallery for Christmas Past, where you’ll get to explore how families celebrated Christmas in the past and make a traditional tree decoration inspired by the collection.
This event starts at 2:00 p.m. and is recommended for kids 5+. Free tickets are required and available on the day one hour before the event starts from the Information Desk in the Main Hall. The session will last approximately 90 minutes. Places are limited to 20 per session, maximum 4 tickets per adult.
