Workshop Description

Join artist and educator Phillipa Ellis in a special workshop designed for children aged five and under and their adults.

Little explorers can dig for hidden treasure, create their very own clay coins and uncover the magic of coin rubbing. In this hands-on adventure, we'll use play, imagination and creativity to explore the collection.
